Tanzania orders crop shift to slash costly imports

Agriculture Minister Daniel Chongolo instructed the Cereals and Other Produce Regulatory Authority to prioritize wheat and edible oil cultivation while expanding into cloves and cocoa production to diminish Tanzania's reliance on foreign suppliers. The directive targets the Morogoro region for the immediate distribution of 500,000 seedlings as authorities construct comprehensive strategies for safeguarding economic stability through diversified crop portfolios.

Chongolo emphasized deploying Sokoine University students as agricultural extension agents during upcoming planting cycles to educate rural producers across remote territories. He praised the Tanzania Mercantile Exchange and Warehouse Receipt Regulatory Board for advancing electronic auction platforms while demanding the cashewnut board deploy youth inspectors to verify pesticide application and eliminate productivity obstacles.
