Focused Agricultural Value Chains for Up-taking

The partnership selected four value chains, which have momentum to grow and to help transform the lives of Tanzanian farmers. The selected value chains are soya, potatoes, dairy, and sunflower. From these value chains, the partnership estimates financing opportunities worth shillings 541 billion Shillings for financial service providers to learn about, design products for, mobilize, and syndicate.

  • Soya is in high demand in Tanzania while supply is limited. Overall demand is estimated at 33,000 tones with current production at 10,000 tones. National soya plan estimates demand to grow almost 300% by 2020 to 129,000 tones. Soya’s potential opportunity is shillings 14 billion.

  • Potatoes represent a significant market in Tanzania produced by 426,000 farmers and is worth 1 trillion shillings overall. However, with the introduction of new variety of seeds, and the potential to store and process them, the market is expected to grow to 1.6 trillion. Potatoes potential opportunity is worth shillings 418 billion.
  • Dairy sector has potential in Tanzania that has yet to fully take off in southern highlands. The airlift of calf Heifers and investments in reproductive technology to ensure continuity of breed along with other investments, the farmers can ensure high yields and a strong dairy sector can emerge. Dairy’s potential opportunity is worth shillings 110 billion.
  • Sunflower oil accounts for about 15% of the total oil consumption in the country, a total sunflower oil production being estimated to about 169,000 tons. That corresponds to total sunflower grain production of about 560,000 tons (and sunflower cake production of 391,000 tons). Annual production of sunflower grains is estimated of about 1 million tons involving more than 500,000 smallholder farmers in the 19- high sunflower producing regions.
