Organic market opens in Dar, small farmers set to profit

Some Tanzanian agricultural group threw a market day in Dar es Salaam to push organic crops after getting about 1.2 billion shillings from Bio-Vision and Swiss aid orgs. Sustainable Agricultural Tanzania wants small-scale farmers ditching chemical fertilizers and hitting both local plus international markets with pesticide-free produce. The CEO said they trained roughly 50 entrepreneurs from regions like Morogoro and Kagera on packaging and processing while building tiny industries for coffee, cotton, and vegetables.

The whole deal targets mid-level traders who usually miss out on certification info and market access. Organizers claim chemical-free farming cuts health problems like heart disease while protecting soil quality. They want youth and women getting business opportunities through the supply chain, and the open market gave farmers direct buyer contact without middlemen eating profits.
