The central research question was the economic evaluation of the potential of this strategy for increasing peasant farmer income streams in an economy comprised of mostly subsistence farming. Two objectives were: (1) the assessment of the extent to which selected production factors explain the variability in the annual output of green tea leaf (output) and (2) the estimation of the physical resource productivities and the computation of marginal value products (MVP's) of selected resources for a sample 150 small­ holder tea farms in Njombe, Tanzania to detennine economic efficiency and the potential for enhanced utilization of selected r�sources. A conceptualized production function was specified in a single equation model in which the annual output, the dependent variable, was a function of labor actually used, land area in tea, bush popu­ lation, expenses for farm tools and expenses for fertilizer and insec­ ticide. The model also included zero-one variables: two levels of education of the household head, no education and primary or more; and two farmer perceptions about tea processing plant capacity, ade­ quate and inadequate. This was the main model called Model II. Three other models were specified. Two of the three were subproduc­ tion functions, referred to as Model I (output as a function .. of bush population categories) and Model III (output as a function of labor iii iv categories). The fourth model was a modification of Model II with. discrete zero-one fann organization variables added. The functional fonn for Models II and IV was specified as a modified Cobb-Douglas (except for discrete variables). The functional form for Models I and III was linear statistical analysis and was performed using ordinary Least Squares. The results of Model II indicated that the coefficients for total labor, land area, bush population and fanner perception of inadequate processing plant capacity were statistically significant at the 5 percent level. The coefficient for household head education level of primary or more was statistically significant at 10 percent.· Except for expenses on farm tools, all signs were as expected. The results of Model II suggested constant returns to scale. Labor was the most important factor, followed by land and bush popu­ lation, in explaining variation in output per farm. The potential for enhanced utilization of labor, land and �ush population was evi­ dent with each respective MVP being greater than its MFC. TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I.

    United Republic of Tanzania The United Republic of Tanzania Jointly prepared by Ministry of Finance and Planning, National Bureau of Statistics and Njombe Regional Secretariat Njombe Region National Bureau of Statistics Njombe Dodoma November, 2020 Njombe Region Socio-Economic Profile, 2018 Foreword The goals of Tanzania’s Development Vision 2025 are in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are pursued through the National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) or MKUKUTA II. The major goals are to achieve a high-quality livelihood for the people, attain good governance through the rule of law and develop a strong and competitive economy. To monitor the progress in achieving these goals, there is need for timely, accurate data and information at all levels. Problems especially in rural areas are many and demanding. Social and economic services require sustainable improvement. The high primary school enrolment rates recently attained have to be maintained and so is the policy of making sure that all pupils who passed Primary School Leaving Examination must join form one. The Nutrition situation is still precarious; infant and maternal mortality rates continue to be high and unemployment triggers mass migration of youths from rural areas to the already overcrowded urban centres. Added to the above problems, is the menace posed by HIV/AIDS, the prevalence of which hinders efforts to advance into the 21st century of science and technology. The pandemic has been quite severe among the economically active population leaving in its wake an increasing number of orphans, broken families and much suffering. AIDS together with environmental deterioration are problems which cannot be ignored.

    The United Republic of Tanzania 2012 POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS Population Distribution by Administrative Areas National Bureau of Statistics Ministry of Finance Dar es Salaam and Office of Chief Government Statistician President’s Office, Finance, Economy and Development Planning Zanzibar March , 2013 Foreword The 2012 Population and Housing Census (PHC) for United Republic of Tanzania was carried out on the 26th August, 2012. This was the fifth Census after the Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964. Other Censuses were carried out in 1967, 1978, 1988 and 2002. The 2012 PHC, like others, will contribute to the improvement of quality of life of Tanzanians through the provision of current and reliable data for development planning, policy formulation and services delivery as well as for monitoring and evaluating national and international development frameworks. The 2012 PHC is unique in the sense that, the information collected will be used in monitoring and evaluating the Development Vision 2025 for Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar Development Vision 2020, Five Year Development Plan 2011/12 – 2015/16, National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) commonly known as MKUKUTA and Zanzibar Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (ZSGRP) commonly known as MKUZA. The census will also provide information for the evaluation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015. The Poverty Monitoring Master Plan, which is the monitoring tool for NSGRP and ZSGRP, mapped out core indicators for poverty monitoring against the sequence of surveys, with the 2012 Census being one of them. Several of these core indicators for poverty monitoring will be measured directly from the 2012 Census.
