The sultan mandated the establishment of vast plantation of cloves, making Zanzibar the single largest clove producer in the world (for a long time cloves traded higher then gold). Today, Zanzibar has many plantation growing a wide variety of tropical spices – cloves, vanilla beans, black pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, lemon grass, ginger, and much more, including exotic fruits.
