坦桑尼亚是世界鲜腰果主要生产国之一,产量仅次于莫桑比克。除少数几个大腰果园外,大多是由农民经营的小腰果园。在坦桑尼亚南部,腰果园的规模约有70%在4英亩(合24亩)以下,其中2英亩(合12亩)以下的占40%。在幼龄期,腰果树常与粮食作物或其他商品作物间作。 Tanzania is one of the major producers of fresh cashews in the world, second only to Mozambique. With the exception of a few large cashew orchards, most are small cashew orchards run by peasants. In southern Tanzania, about 70% of the cashew orchards are below 4 acres (about 24 acres), of which 40% are below 2 acres. Cashew trees are often intercropped with food crops or other commercial crops during their infancy.
