Tanzania’s rich history with sisal cultivation spans over a century, establishing the country as one of the world’s premier sisal producers. This remarkable plant, Agave sisalana, has been an integral part of Tanzania’s agricultural heritage since its introduction in the late 19th century.

Historical Significance

The story of sisal in Tanzania began in 1893 when Dr. Richard Hindorf first introduced the plant to what was then German East Africa. By the 1960s, Tanzania had become the world’s largest sisal producer, with annual production reaching 230,000 tons – nearly half of the global output.
