Tanzania Forestry Research Institute (TAFORI) was established by Act No. 5 of 1980 and its amendments of 2023 with a broad mandate of conducting and coordinating research on all fundamental aspects of Beekeeping, Forest Production and Utilization in relation to the conservation of forests and allied resources in order to offer Scientific and Technical services on various aspects of forestry and beekeeping. There after, a Biological Agricultural Research Station was established at Amani in 1902 to undertake systematic test of indigenous (Juniper and Podo) and exotic ( Cypress , Eucalypts, Teak and Black Wattle) tree species. A number of tree species tested, currently constitute major plantation tree species in Tanzania . During the British Colonial government in 1928 the Biological Agricultural Research Station in Amani was renamed to East African Agricultural Research Station and was subsequently shifted from Amani to Muguga in 1948 to form the East African Agricultural and Forestry Research Organisation (EAAFRO). In the early 1950s the then Tanganyika Government established Silvicultural and Utilisation Research Stations at Lushoto and Moshi respectively to cater for research problems specific to the country while EAAFRO concentrated on regional research needs.
