Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Agricultural Economy of Tanganyika Tanganyika, an independent country and republic within the British Commonwealth, has a largely undeveloped economy based primarily on agriculture. To understand Tanganyika's present position it is necessary to review its past. Agricultural development was slow in coming to Tanganyika. Tanganyika's historical background is one of foreign contacts that date back to the ancient Greek mariners. After the Greeks came the Arab and Persian trading caravans, and even to this day, a sizable Arab community exists in Dar es Salaam, Tanganyika. Ivory was one of the main exports of the country. Arab traders traveled into the hinterland of the country, founding trading posts and settlements along the main trade routes. But they did not attempt to develop the interior of the country. The Arabs and Persians were followed many centuries later by the Portuguese, who established trading posts along the shores of the Indian Ocean and conducted trade with the outside world, but did not penetrate beyond the coastal fringe.
