Hyatt Regency Dar es Salaam, The Kilimanjaro

 

Opening Address by

HE Hon. Dr Charles J. Tizeba (MP), Minister

Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries

 

“Agriculture transformation through value additions and

innovative technologies!”

“How farms adapt to new market conditions and commodity prices?”

According to an UN report, the world population is expected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030 & 9.7 billion in 2050. In order to feed the growing population, countries around the world are looking for arable land for agri investment to ensure their food security. Africa with over 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land seems a natural choice for investors! 

 

Public and private sector can play a bigger role to transform Africa’s agricultural sector by modernizing and introducing innovative technology to the farm, increasing farm productivity, investing in agro related & value-added processing industries, investing in transport infrastructure & post-harvest storage facilities. 

 

How will agricultural commodities prices perform this year? How are farms adapting to new market conditions and commodity prices? What are the strategies to adopt to reduce production cost and increase productivity?
