TanTrade heads to Kigoma, border traders eye new perks

Tanzania's trade development agency is opening up shop in Kigoma to make cross-border business easier with Burundi and the DRC. Director General Latifa Khamis said the new office will help traders get better access to services, and they're planning to expand to more border zones like Tunduma in Songwe. The goal is to upgrade digital systems across the board to make market data more accessible.

Industry and Trade Minister Judith Kapinga visited the agency and pushed for all institutions under her ministry to get their digital infrastructure sorted out. She wants integrated systems that give consistent information no matter where people access it from, which should help make the country more competitive regionally and globally. The agency is building new tools and training programs to support its expanded mandate.
