| Description |
The Zanzibar State Trading Corporation raised their price for cloves in September 2001. Grade A cloves now fetches TSH 2,500 shillings per kilo, compared to 1,500 before. Other grades can be sold at higher prices to ZSTC, which the government appointed as the sole official buyer. The price hike is partly the result of the decision to follow the trends on the world market but is also discouraging the smuggling of cloves out of the country. This year s harvest of cloves, the island s main foreign exchange earner, will be around 5,000 tonnes of cloves.
