Agave (Sisal) plantation near Tanga, German East Africa (Tanzania). The Sisal hemp plant was brought to East Africa from Mexico by Germans in 1893. Later it became common also in British East Africa (Kenya) and is still today an important export product. Sisal is used for carpets, clothes and also for traditional huts in Africa.

The view from Derema on the road to the Usambara mountains in Tanganyika (now Tanzania). Derema was one of the first coffee and tea plantations in Tanganyika. The first estate was formed in 1891 by the German East Africa Co. Fine tea is produced in the Usambara Mountains also today.
