IMPACT OF THE GLOBAL CRISIS (Mid 2009) Tanzania's horticultural industry has registered tremendous growth in the past three years and has recently been recognized and prioritized by key stakeholders including the government, as a significant contributor in the national economic growth and poverty alleviation strategy.The industry earns the country more than US $ 130 million and employs around 50,000 Tanzanians, but over the last few months the horticultural Industry has been affected by certain factors , which have put pressure on flowers and vegetables demand and sales prices in the market. From October 2008, prices on average have declined by between 30 to 50 percent as compared to the previous year.
