    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the agri-business sector in Tanzania and includes information on its various agricultural products, production and trade, major players, corporate actions, developments and regulations. There are profiles of 22 companies including Kilombero Sugar Company, the largest sugar producer in the country, commercial avocado producer Africado and tea producers such as Mohammed Enterprise and Unilever Tea. Other profiles include Said Salim Bakhresa & Company, which owns wheat, maize and rice mills and coffee companies such as Burka Coffee Estates and Tanganyika Instant Coffee.

    The Agri-business Sector in Tanzania

    Tanzania’s economy is heavily dependent on agriculture. The country’s produces maize, cassava, rice, potatoes, beans, sweet potatoes, sorghum and bananas, and its main cash crops are coffee, cotton, sugar cane, tea, cashew nuts, tobacco, sesame seed, flowers and sunflower seed. The agri-business sector faces challenges including the limited use of fertilisers, pesticides and improved seeds, limited use of mechanisation and a reliance on natural rainfall. Other influencing factors are inadequate storage facilities, poor or non-existent transport infrastructure, weak value chains and limited affordable financial services.

    Major Crops

    As the most widely-produced and most important food crop in Tanzania, maize is regarded as a strategic crop, and is a priority in the government’s food security strategy. Over 80% of maize output is produced by smallholders under rain-fed conditions. Cassava, a root vegetable, is the second most important food crop, which is drought-tolerant and can be left underground for an extended period.

    Poor Outcomes

    Tanzania’s agri-business sector shows great potential as it has an abundance of land and water resources and a favourable climate. But crop yields are low and affected by inadequate storage facilities, poor or non-existent transport infrastructure, weak value chains and limited affordable financial services, as farmers do not own their land and cannot use their farms as collateral. Challenges faced by processors of agricultural products include multiple taxes, unnecessary bureaucracy and poor transport infrastructure.

    Report Coverage

    The detailed Agri-Business in Tanzania report examines current conditions and factors that influence the success of the sector including the support given by the Government and foreign donor agencies. Profiles are provided for 18 role players including Obtala Ltd which owns a 100ha cassava plantation and a food processing facility. In April 2017 the company announced its intention of investing US$10m in Tanzania over the next five years under the Grow Africa initiative, a partnership established by the African Union, the New Partnership for Africa’s Development and the World Economic Forum.

    The Agri-Business Sector in Tanzania

    Tanzania’s economy is heavily dependent on agriculture, which according to the World Bank, accounted for 31.1% of GDP in 2016. Figures published in the African Economic Outlook report show that the agricultural sector employs 66% of the labour force, while agricultural products comprise 30% of exports. Most farmers in Tanzania are engaged in small-scale farming on farms ranging between 0.9ha and 3ha in size and farming on a commercial scale is carried out on only 1.5 million ha. The major food crops are maize, cassava, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes and bananas, while the main cash crops are coffee, cotton, sugar cane, tea, cashew nuts, tobacco, sesame seeds and sisal.

    Challenges in the Sector

    Despite the country’s high growth rate of 6.9% during 2016, the reduction of poverty has been slow because the growth rate of the agricultural sector has been lower than that of the country. The most important obstacles facing the agricultural sector are its dependence on rainfall, the limited use of improved seeds and the high cost of fertiliser and herbicides. Taxes are substantial and complex, involving land rent, local government levies, licences and VAT on fuel. Growth of the agricultural sector is also constrained by a lack of infrastructure, including poor road transport especially in rural areas.
