Africa’s Agribusiness Sector, Opportunities and Tanzania’s Developmental Contribution
Pan Africa’s population is going to be two times that of the present by 2050, along with the rising incomes, more purchasing power, shift in consumer behaviour, and need to advance agricultural production to feed the continent.
In the year 2023, close to 280 technology-driven agriculture startups raised $1.2 billion and various different B2B platforms were successful in connecting 45 million African farmers to markets that drew an impressive number of $2.8 billion in digital transactions, most of them coming in from East Africa.

Tanzania’s Agriculture Contribution
1- Government Policy for Tanzania’s Agriculture Development - Tanzania’s Ministry of Agriculture launched a flagship program in 2024 under the name Building a Better Tomorrow Program (BBT Program).

2- Public-private Partnership (PPP) Initiative - Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) is a very well-known transformative program in Tanzania’s agriculture sector that aims to reform, strengthen and upgrade the current agriculture scenario of the nation into a highly productive, commercially viable and environmentally sustainable industry.
To achieve that the program is focussing on areas including Commercializing Smallholder Farming, Private Investment, Value Chain Integration, Technological Enhancement and Sustainable Agriculture in Tanzania.
Under this plan, Tanzania intends to bring an additional 350,000 hectares into cultivation to strengthen both production and agro-processing.
To know more about the plan, you can read the article.
3- Foreign Investment in Pipeline - Over the span of many years, Tanzania has attracted many foreign investments that aim to re-build its agriculture sector and make it highly competitive in the world and in Africa as well.
Some of the notable ones are,
● UAE agribusiness Al Dahra’s $ 100 million in Tanzania's farming sector - This initiative was announced in February 2026 where the Tanzania Investment and Special Economic Zones Authority (TISEZA) - a government's lead and supported agency responsible for promoting, facilitating, and supporting investments. and Al Dahra Group - a 195 founded organization that is a global leader in modern agriculture, sustainable approach and bringing in newer technologies to the agrivuisness sector. Both have signed an MoU for a $100 million agricultural investment. The collaboration will focus on developing commercial-scale, irrigated farms, beginning with 10,000 hectares. Al Dahra will bring its global expertise in sustainable farming, while TISEZA will provide regulatory support and land access. The initiative aims to boost Tanzania's food security, support smallholder farmers, and contribute to the government's target of 10% annual growth in the crop subsector by 2030.

● Tanzania’s 1.6 trillion Cassava Deal - Last year in 2025 December, Tanzania was lucky enough to secure a massive $640 million (1.6 trillion shillings) deal with a company called Pan-Tanzania Agriculture Developments Limited to grow cassava and other crops on 62,000 acres of land in the Kilwa District.

The company will build factories to process cassava, soybeans, and cashew nuts for export, mainly to China and Asia, and will also set up meat-processing operations. Along with this, the project is an impressive one to provide ample jobs in this area.
This isn’t confined to what we have mentioned but have listed only a fraction of what Tanzania is holding in terms of agriculture potential. The one’s who see this as an opportunity and grab it then and there - wins!
