UNIQUE ADDED VALUE

Tanzania's geographical diversity and diverse microclimates allow for a wide range of agricultural products. With large areas under cultivation for export, Tanzania is a major player in the international market. Its small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are highly motivated to take advantage of new market opportunities.

As one of the ten fastest growing economies in Africa, Tanzania offers promising investment opportunities. Its strategic location on the east coast of Africa, with access to seaports such as Dar es Salaam and Tanga, gives the country important logistical advantages for trade.

The agricultural sector in particular has great potential for growth. Tanzania already produces a range of high value-added products such as nuts (cashew, macadamia, groundnuts), pulses, herbs and spices, essential oils, dried fruits and vegetables, salt and seaweed. There is therefore room for expansion and diversification of the product range.

Another interesting aspect is that Tanzania is still little known as a country of origin for high value-added products in the 'natural ingredients' sector. There is considerable potential here for diversifying the economy and creating value-added products.

Importers appreciate the low risk of supply chains being disrupted by weather, crop failure or global events such as pandemics or conflict in the region. This makes Tanzania an attractive option for alternative sources of supply. Finally, Tanzania's good soil quality offers great potential for organic production.
