Las patatas fueron introducidas en Tanzania en la década de 1920 por estaciones misioneras alemanas en las tierras altas del sur de Tanzania (entonces la colonia alemana de Tanganyika), donde los agricultores locales comenzaron a cultivarlas en pequeños huertos.
Es probable que otras variedades fueran introducidas a través de Kenia y Malawi, ya que los agricultores designan las variedades locales más antiguas con los nombres de estos países, lo que permitió a los agricultores trasladar sus cultivos a altitudes superiores.
