In the mid 1970's (1976-78), during the coffee boom, Tanzania benefitted from a significant improvement in its terms of trade. To study the "consequences for peasants of this temporary shock and of the way it was handled by the [Tanzanian] government" (p. 1), Bevan et at. launched a rural household survey in Tanzania. The 1983 Rural Household Survey was conducted during September, 1983, on a subsample of the households interviewed in 1976/77 by the Tanzania Bureau of Statistics. This survey covered 498 households in the rural areas of Kilimanjaro, Dodoma, Iringa, and Ruvuma. As the 1983 Rural Household Survey was conducted in 4 of the 19 rural regions of Tanzania, it is important to identify the consequences for this study's conclusions."
