Tanzania Agriculture Market Analysis

The Agriculture in Tanzania Market size is estimated at USD 17.44 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 22.93 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.63% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Agriculture is the major backbone of the country's economy. Hence, structural measures are taken to boost agricultural production in the country with the support of public-private partnerships. Fruits hold a major share due to liberalization policies supporting their exports. Bananas, mangoes, oranges, pineapples, and watermelons are the major fruits produced in the country. Thus, private sector investments, favorable government policies, and trade agreements with neighboring countries will likely drive the market during the forecast period.
Private sector investment in the agriculture sector, research activities conducted in collaboration with local institutions, and policy initiatives undertaken by the Tanzanian government to improve the business-enabling environment to promote agricultural growth will aid Tanzania's agricultural market development in the future.
Tanzania is one of the largest cashew producers in Africa, with exports providing 10.0-15.0% of the country's foreign exchange. It mainly grows in the country's southern regions, such as Matwara and Lindi, and more than 90.0% of the nuts are exported in raw form. The raw nuts are mainly exported to India due to a very small domestic processing capacity. This factor is driving the agriculture market in the country.

Agriculture in Tanzania Size Summary

The agriculture sector in Tanzania is a pivotal component of the nation's economy, supported by a diverse range of production activities including livestock, staple food crops, and cash crops. The sector is poised for growth, driven by structural measures and public-private partnerships aimed at enhancing agricultural output. The government's favorable policies, coupled with private sector investments and trade agreements, are expected to propel the market forward. The fruit sector, particularly bananas, mangoes, oranges, pineapples, and watermelons, plays a significant role in the market, benefiting from liberalization policies that bolster exports. Tanzania's position as a leading cashew producer in Africa further underscores the sector's importance, with a substantial portion of the nuts exported, primarily to India, due to limited domestic processing capabilities.

The Tanzanian government's initiatives, such as the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor (SAGCOT), aim to unlock the region's agricultural potential by fostering private sector engagement and attracting international funding. These efforts are complemented by research collaborations with local institutions to build capacity for sustainable agricultural development. The government's provision of subsidies and reduction of levies are strategic moves to address challenges and stimulate growth in the sector. The banana market, in particular, is thriving due to high consumer demand and efforts to develop new, resilient varieties. Recent policy shifts, such as the decision to explore genetically engineered crop trials, reflect a broader commitment to enhancing agricultural productivity and food security in the country.
