Tanzania’s agricultural sector holds immense potential for economic transformation. Often cited as one of East Africa’s most promising investment frontiers—the country has one of the world’s youngest populations, with most youth involved in farming. However, the sector faces persistent challenges including climate risks, outdated agricultural practices, and limited access to finance and technology.
In response to these issues and as part of ongoing efforts to foster a more resilient, inclusive, and innovation-driven agricultural sector, key stakeholders came together for the Agritech4Tanzania Consultation Workshop held on 17 June 2025 in Dar es Salaam.
The event was co-hosted by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT and CGIAR Accelerate for Impact Platform (A4IP), in collaboration with Tanzania Agricultural Research Institute (TARI), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and Shamba Box. It marked a pivotal moment in Tanzania’s journey toward a more inclusive, resilient, and innovation-driven agricultural sector.
