Summary

Tanzania has enormous agricultural potential, with 44 million hectares of arable land, good soils, ample water resources, and access to both regional and international markets. But only 24% of arable land is currently under production. And production is mostly small-scale, plagued by land tenure constraints, poor infrastructure, limited use of modern techniques, lack of access to finance, and low productivity
