Abstract: | This paper is a product of research carried out in Pangani and Handeni Districts of Tanga Region in April and May 1973. The original purpose of the research was to investigate alleged declines in the production of oil-bearing crops: ground-nuts, castor seeds, simsim, copra and cotton. But it became clear during the field work that this question could only be dealt with in a wider context of agriculture in the area. Sections: Introductory - Tree crops - Other drought-resistant perennials - Cattle -Drought-resisting annual food-crops - Quick-yielding drought-resistant annual crops -The problem crops (maize and cotton) - A postscript on marketing.
