History of Spices
Zanzibar is the islands of the spices, the ancient transit of the merchants of the old world. The fragrance of this lands are invade at the every angle of the global and recalls their names and their exotic aroma remains on sensitive like that of cardamom and their nutmeg, gingers and their vanilla or intense of fruits cloves themselves are the enough symbol of the island that are painting the plantation SHAMBA by their beautiful colors.
Spices were first introduced by the Portuguese back in the 16th century, when they were transported over from colonies in Goa and Brazil. It wasn’t until the Omanis arrived, though, several hundred years later, that the spice trade truly thrived.
The Sultan transported 50,000 slaves through Zanzibar each year, forcing a third of them to work on the spice farms in Tanzania — 30% of whom died every year due to the terrible conditions. These spice and slave trades combined to make Stone Town one of the richest cities in Africa.
These days, the production of cloves is declining while tourism is skyrocketing, resulting in much of the spice industry turning towards plantation tours as a way to stay in business.
