Tanzania has tremendous potential to
support a thriving agribusiness sector. Agriculture is
diverse and extensive, employing more than 80 percent of the
population, and contributing about 28 percent of Gross
Domestic Product, or GDP and 30 percent of export earnings.
A wide range of agricultural commodities are produced in
Tanzania, including fiber (sisal, cotton), beverages
(coffee, tea), sugar, grains (a diverse range of cereals and
legumes), horticulture (temperate and tropical fruits,
vegetables and flowers) and edible oils. This document
proposes a new model for promoting the growth of competitive
value-added sunflower oil processing in Tanzania, and also
seeks to identify potential growth enterprises in other
value chains. The Agribusiness Innovation Center (AIC) will
provide a set of financial and non-financial services to
high-growth potential entrepreneurs, aiming to accelerate
the growth of their enterprises and demonstrating product,
process, and business model innovation across focal sectors.
The AIC will complement existing efforts focused on
farm-level improvements and foreign investment facilitation.
