The business environment is not attractive for investors
Land
The process
to obtain land
title and
derivative rights
is cumbersome
and not well
communicated
to investors
We have been
here for 7 years,
and still do not
have the land
title
Infrastructure
There are no access
roads to the farm
We have to build
irrigation infra-
structure not only
for ourselves but
also for our
outgrowers
Policy and governance
The government decided to allow the import of
120,000 tonnes of tariff-free rice, as a result,
the price of rice has dropped, and this might
put us out of business
The government need to honor the contract
that they sign- they did not renew the
incentives they promised
We were supposed to have water rights for 20
years, but now we are being told that it
expires in 5 years
We have to work with so many different
government departments and no one feels
accountable to ensure that due processes are
adhered to
11
There is no reliable
power supply
The cess tax is a huge disincentive for
investment and smallholders alike

Current bodies need to be improved in order to facilitate
investments
iviv
TO…Proposed changes
Investors Complaint Bureau
FROM…Current mandate
▪ Bureau disciplined to meet monthly ▪ Meets on an ad hoc basis, subject to the Prime Minister’s availability
▪ Implement online tracking system to show complains that need to be addressed and how long they have been in the pipeline
▪ No transparency on complaints in the pipeline that needs to be addressed
▪ No mandate to grant approvals or oversee applications in line ministries
▪ Unit implements online tracking system with line ministries to show where applications are sitting, relevant person in charge and how long application has been pending
▪ A facilitation body that assists investors in necessary applications
Tanzania Investment Centre
▪ Dedicated unit, overseen by PDB, to receive and take ownership of all applications (forwards them to line ministries and ensures that applications are processed in due time)
▪ Current “14 day system” that automatically grants approval if line ministries do not respond within 14 days is not enforced
▪ Automatically raises issues to Investors Complain Bureau if applications have taken longer than allocated time
▪ Raises other complaints e.g. sudden policy changes, to Investors Complain Bureau

The Agriculture Lab already accelerated initiatives to close the
Bagamoyo Eco-Energy project11
Large scale iconic project in Tanzania,
with high potential impact
▪ Production of 150,000T of sugar,
11,000cbm ethanol and 32MW
electricity ▪ 2,300 direct jobs, 10,000 indirect jobs
▪ 2,000 outgrowers producing about 300-
400tonnes of sugar
At risk because of bureaucracy and Government inefficiency
The lab used a “pressure cooker” to resolve issues
Ensured AG Chambers provided immediate feedback on Land lease and Right of Occupancy
Negotiated water rights from 5 years to 30 years on behalf of Investor
Part of working group to accelerate Implementation and Shareholder’s Agreement
Raised issue to the President to increase pressure and awareness
15
The development of the rice and sugar industries require increasing
the availability of rice seeds, and developing industry associations
▪ Lack of coordination amongst
the players in the rice and
sugarcane value chain,
leading to weak lobbying
power and industry
representation
▪ Work with existing stakeholders
(e.g. TARIPA) to facilitate players in
the industry to develop rice and
sugar associations
▪ Lack of good quality rice
seeds suitable for Tanzania to
meet commercial and
smallholder farm targets
▪ Private sector players have
lack of incentive to produce
rice seeds due to seed saving
practices
▪ MAFC to engage the Agriculture
Seed Agency (ASA) and private
seed companies to produce
certified seeds
▪ Creation of the “Rice Seed Sub-
Fund” under the Input Fund to
provide soft loans to rice seed
companies

▪ In the case where
conditions may not be so
favourable, farmer can
still expect income
increase by 40% under

� Difficulties to access credit for
procuring inputs due to tough terms
and conditions (stringent collateral
requirements; prohibitive interest
rates; high bank charges and fees;
loan processing bureaucracy
discourages) that cannot be met by
the farmers and the agro dealers
� Currently the Government inputs
subsidy is not as smart as it is
supposed to be. This is because
most of the some of the farmers who
are selected to receive inputs
vouchers are poor to the extent that
they cannot afford topping up the
vouchers
� Low price of agricultural produce
make farmers fail to afford inputs. In
most cases farmers use proceeds of
crops to purchase inputs
� Smallholder farmers should market their
crop produce through Warehouse
Receipt System where it is easy to link
them with financial institutions (banks,
SACCOS, inputs distributors etc.)
� Farmers in irrigation schemes be
provided with inputs subsidy vouchers
� Smallholder farmers are sensitized to

Optional model - Block farming via equity
Benefits
▪ The benefits of the block farm professionally managed are. THIS IS A WEALTH CREATION MODEL
▪ This model is applicable to both small holder and commercial out grower model
– The farmers still maintain the ownership of their land. Each farmer has a CCRO which s/he uses to buy shares in their new company
which will manage the farm.
– The farmer organization is registered as a company limited by shares. The farmers with farms in the block are the shareholders
– Farmers are relieved from the hassles of farm activities and they get extra income by employing professional managers
– The whole block grow one agreed variety with a market value
– The professional management organizes bulk inputs and the farm operations on GAP, new technologies like SRI are adhered and
use of pivotal irrigation.
– Productivity of paddy 8 tons / ha or ( 30 bags per acre) is assured and farming become COMPETITIVE and production is increased
– Farmers get more income from the same area of land . Production increase more than 300%.
– The farmers organization can as well engage effectively with other value chain actors and become more competitive in a market place
Current Situation
Each farmer has a small plot of different shapes and
sizes
Block Farming with Professional management
200 Farmers with farms close to each other merge
their farms to form a BLOCK farm which is managed
as a one farm
117
Block farming model development process
Steps Steps cont …
▪ The farmers are sensitized to understand the model and voluntarily AGREE to CHANGE (Investing in People and Not things)
