Natural Tanzania, Iloma

About our Natural Tanzania, Iloma Blend

CIloma AMCOS (cooperative; stands for A gricultural M arketing Co o perative S ociety) was founded in 2011 by Iyela Farmer Group. In 2016 they decided to set up a CPU (central processing units/washing stations), and in 2018 due to changes in regulations they joined the Iloma AMCOS. The name Illomba results from the two main villages where the farmers live: Mufaumbo and Iloma. The water comes from the Vidawa river, which is 5km away and fed by gravity pipes. The chairman, Rashid Shikombola, is a respected businessman in the village. With the AMCOS, he rents trucks to other nearby groups and helped to provide electricity in the village. City Mills, the dry mill owned by Neumann Kaffee Gruppe, has also started a coffee club at Msankwi, a local secondary school, where students receive seedlings and meet regularly to learn agricultural practices. In 2020 Iloma also started processing naturals in addition to fully-washed lots.
