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

Page 16: Agriculture Lab - AgriProFocus · 2014-10-29 · farming deals for paddy and sugarcane 1 78 Professionally managed collective rice irrigation and marketing schemes 2 ... The business

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

Key issues along the value chain

� 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

market their crop produce through

Warehouse Receipt System where they

can access loans from lending

institutions while waiting for the prices to

go up

Key issues along the value chain

� Poor roads infrastructure: rural

feeder roads connecting the main

roads and highways with villages lack

regular maintenance, resulting into

not being passable throughout the

season

� Inefficient secondary distribution

network: Agro dealers are mostly

located at urban areas and along the

main roads

� District councils take deliberate efforts to

maintain feeder/rural roads to enable

inputs to be transported close to farmers

in irrigation schemes at all times they

need

� Government of

Tanzania

� District

authorities

� Input suppliers

� Incorrect application/use of inputs:

Majority of smallholder farmers

cannot use/apply inputs correctly

even if they know the importance of

inputs use due to inadequate

technical knowledge of farmers as

well as agro dealers

� Poor fertilizer recommendation rates

(one size fits all)

� Train farmers on good agricultural

practices which includes proper use of

inputs especially fertilizer and agro-

chemicals

� Train agro-dealers on handling of inputs

and technical issues for them to advise

farmers when buying inputs from their

shops

of Agriculture need to conduct soil

analysis in all the selected irrigation

schemes and review the existing

fertilizer recommendations for specific

Key issues along the value chain

� Warehouses are owned by millers

which are tied to processing facilities,

i.e. conditions for storage are tied to

mandatory processing in the mill.

Farmers have no much choice to

choose a milling machine once he

has stored paddy in the mill (even if

the mill has poor quality)

� Warehouses are owned by villages or

Local Government Authorities are not

well kept or underutilised

� Each scheme should have a warehouse

and a professional manager

� Identify and upgrade existing

warehouses (200-400 tons capacity) in

the selected schemes to practice the

Warehouse Receipt System. Lease

village warehouses to farmer

organizations on long term contracts

� Establish big warehouses (20,000 Mt) in

Key issues along the value chain

� Most of the farmers sell their paddy

individually

� Farmers are selling crop during

harvesting period and get lower

prices

� There are few cases of farmer

organizations which practice

Warehouse Receipt System or

collectively

� The wholesale buyers want to buy

rice but farmers want to sell paddy

� Most farmers lack market information

other than from traders

� Lack of central depository of market

data and stocks to help government

make informed decision like export

ban

� Lack of linkage to the international

market

� District crop cess is not ploughed

back to the agriculture sector

� Lack of accountability of the

authorities

� The government should consider

establishment of a commodity exchange

which will give small scale farmers an

opportunity to sell their rice globally

� Construct in each of the big warehouses

to be managed by Commodity

Exchange and there should be a big

processing facility nearby .The sites for

the warehouses should be mapped by

GPS and allocated by the Local

Government Authority

� Strengthen farmer organizations and

build their capacity to become

competitive in a market place -

introduce collective marketing concept to

the farmer organization (associations or

credit. As a result they take credit

charges

� Current irrigators’ organizations are weak and unable to provide the required services to

irrigators to the extent that they cannot reap expected benefits from the investment

IOs are registered as Irrigators Association

(IAs) under the Ministry of Home Affairs in

order to operate and maintain the irrigation

facilities

IO to be registered as a legal entity under

the Association Act with its own

constitution to be able to access formal

rights such as water rights, land tenure

and public services from the government

such as development assistance,

technical advice, and training

programmes

� Commitment of the irrigators should be

confirmed in writing in a signed letter to the

District Council.

� This letter defines the obligations of the

Irrigators Organisation as per Comprehensive

Guidelines for Irrigation scheme development.

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

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

Page 118: Agriculture Lab - AgriProFocus · 2014-10-29 · farming deals for paddy and sugarcane 1 78 Professionally managed collective rice irrigation and marketing schemes 2 ... The business

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)

▪ All the farmers’ plots are surveyed using GPS and each gets a CCRO. The small scale farmer legally owns his/her farm and is empowered to use it to become rich

▪ The farmers with farm plots in one area form a farmer group and agree to AGGREGATE their plots into ONE BLOCK FARM

▪ Several farmer groups form a farmer organization which is registered as a Company or a TRUST

▪ The farmer organization employs a Professional manager to manage the scheme.

▪ The farmer organization/ company under professional management applies for loan from the bank to cover all farm operations

▪ The professional manager employs people to perform farm operations. Every hard working person in the village/ scheme gets employment. This means a farmer will be paid to work on his/her own farm

▪ If there is a labor shortage people can be employed from other villages

▪ The produce from the scheme is stored in a WAREHOUSE and marketed collectively

▪ The big volumes of paddy/rice gives a scale for the bargaining power of farmers is increased and the prices are competitive;

▪ The Scheme warehouses will be be a marketing centre or linked to a commodity exchange

▪ The equity in the company is divided among farmers /shareholders according to the number of acres each farmer has in the block

▪ The revenue from the sale of rice from the block is divided according to the shares the farmer owns in the company
