The news source states that these seeds, handed over on October 7, 2026, aim to produce approximately 3.5 million coffee seedlings. This action is expected to increase the scope of coffee production in the district.
Kapinga reportedly stated that coffee is a crucial pillar of Mbinga Council's economy. The source indicates that in the previous season, the area produced 18,000 tons, with a target of 19,000 tons for the current season.
The article also mentions that this plan is part of efforts to increase coffee production, farmers' income, and council revenues.
