  • Tanzania MFR Summary Report
    TANZANIA August 20, 2018 Market Fundamentals Summary KEY MESSAGES The objective of this report is to document the basic market context Figure 1. Map of Tanzania for staple food and livestock production and marketing in Tanzania. The information presented is based on desk research, a field assessment using rapid rural appraisal techniques, and a consultation workshop with stakehoders in Tanzania. Findings from this report will inform regular market monitoring and analysis in Tanzania. Maize, rice, sorghum, millet, pulses (beans and peas), cassava and bananas (plantains) are the main staple foods in Tanzania. Maize is the most widely consumed staple in Tanzania and the country imports significant quantities of wheat to meet local demand for wheat flour. Consumption of other staples varies across the country based on local supply and demand dynamics. Cattle, goat and sheep are the major sources of red meat consumed in Tanzania. Tanzania’s cropping calendar follows two distinct seasonal patterns. The Msimu season covers unimodal rainfall areas in the south, west and central parts of the country while the Masika and Vuli seasons Source: FEWS NET (2018). cover bi-modal rainfall areas in the north and eastern parts of the country (Figure 5). Figure 2. Tanzania’s average self sufficiency status for key staple foods (2014/15 – 2017/18) As a member of the East Africa Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), Tanzania plays an important role in regional staple food trade across East and Southern Africa (Annex III). The country is generally a surplus producer of staple cereals and pulses, and exports significant quantities of these commodities to neighboring countries in East and Southern Africa inlcuding Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratice Republic of Congo (Figure 2).

  • Tanzania Scoping Study
    Development Corridors in Tanzania A Scoping Study The Development Corridors Partnership is a research and capacity building collaboration among institutions from China, Kenya, Tanzania, and the UK. Its main purpose is to deliver effective research and build capacity for development corridor decision- making based on sound scientific evidence and effective use of available planning tools and procedures. Partners Funders How to cite this report: Development Corridors Partnership (2019). Development Corridors in Tanzania - A scoping study. Compiled by P.K.T. Munishi, J.J. Kashaigili, N. Chilagane, P. Lyimo, R.E. Pallangyo and L. Kolukwi. Sokoine University of Agriculture, Morogoro, Tanzania. E-published by UNEP-WCMC, Cambridge, UK. Executive summary This report presents the findings of the scoping study conducted to analyse the status and challenges of development corridors in Tanzania. The overall objective of this scoping study is to provide a holistic view of the concept of development corridors and how these are implemented in Tanzania. The scoping study is not intended to provide a comprehensive and detailed account of development corridors in Tanzania, but rather to identify capacity and research gaps on which the Development Corridors Partnership could focus to assist sustainable implementation of development corridors in Tanzania. Moreover, the scoping study provides an initial assessment of the status, actors involved and key challenges in the different identified development corridors. The study further identifies and describes other relevant policy areas and development strategies and plans, institutions and organisations closely linked to the implementation of development corridors in Tanzania. A literature review, stakeholder analysis and a critical review of relevant policies and legislation were undertaken to identify actors, policy and legislative frameworks relevant to development corridors in Tanzania.
