Acha ukenge Geza Ulole,hiyo miundombinu iliyotengewa bajeti sio Collectors kwamba eti zitafuta/kupunguza hiyo 30% post harvests loss.Hivyo viwanda mtakavyojenga mta vi feed vipi labda? Alafu mtaondoa vipi mfumuko wa bei ikiwa zaidi ya 50% ya inflation rate kwenye CPI inachangiwa na food? Kama unataka kenya waongeze bajeti ya kilimo huoni watapunguza/kuondoa comperative advantage yetu huko au hujui kwamba soko letu kubwa la mazao ghafi ya kilimo ni kenya? Wewe umesoma uchumi gani kaka? Hata miundombinu yenyewe watajenga wachina/foreigners so receprocal multiplier effects kwenye uchumi/economic development not GDP itakuwa less sensitive.Jibu hoja acha matusi

Agriculture haitupi competitive advantage kwavile tupo juu zaidi ya all EAC member states as matter of fact we feed Kenya na isitoshe kuna funds zilitolewa na Poland ukiachilia mbali SAGCOT project! We need infrastructure first to expand the gain we have had so far! Tumeshinda bomba la mafuta na railway sasa tunatakiwa kushinda kuwa sehemu rahisi ya kufanya biashara.

MODERNISATION of agriculture through mechanisation is of paramount importance in a bid to increase production and productivity in the sector. Without farm power and appropriate tools, implements and machines that can support production of marketable surpluses, farmers would struggle to move away from subsistence farming.
0 Comments
Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) says the essential role for sustainable mechanisation in production systems becomes increasingly obvious, since the demand for food and agricultural products is growing. ‘Thus,’ FAO says, “farm mechanisation forms an integral plank in the implementation of sustainable crop productionÉ.”
That on the background, Tanzania, which is tipped to become a bread basket of East Africa, geared on increasing production based on the mechanising farming. Modernising and mechanising farming has many forms but the best one is to make machines, equipment and implements affordable and if possible produce the machines locally. With that in mind the government thought it best that not to import farm machines rather assemble them locally.
This way cut prices and creates jobs. Thus, in accordance with organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) regulations concerning tied aid, Tanzania and Poland signed an agreement for tractor supply at early stage and later an assembly plant. Under the OECD, the financier is a Polish government thus the company has to be from Poland.
The government of Tanzania picked National Service economic wing - SUMA-JKT and Poland’s Ursus S.A. The two companies, SUMA-JKT and Ursus S.A signed a US $55 million (over 110bn/-) deal for tractor supply and construction of an assembling plant. Premier Mizengo Pinda said the deal was the outcome of his last year’s visit to Poland where the east European country committed to provide 110 million US dollars (over 220n/-) for supply of tractors and construction of cereal storage facilities.
“Our visit to Poland was to seek assistance for construction of silos to solve the acute problem of cereal storage across the country. “Poland officials said they want to mechanise our agriculture as well and are ready to share knowledge,” Mr Pinda said.
Tanzania suggested that the tractor supply deal should not end at supply but also assembly them locally and Poland agreed. Former Polish president, Mr Lech Walesa, said he is committed to see the tractor project become a success story in a short period, as the parties concerned have the ability to do so.
“Tanzania (and Africa) has all the potential to grow faster than Europe and this is the beginning, but first we have to mechanise farming,” Mr Walesa said. He added:”The success of this project will open more doors to other opportunities to share between Tanzania and Poland.
Poland is one of the European success story after turning around its farming to become the number one producer of apple, corn and wheat. According to Mr Walesa 25 years ago, Poland experienced the same wave of youth from the rural migrating to urban centres looking for jobs.
“Things are quite different today as people are migrating from urban to rural as farming is paying well,” Mr Walesa said through an interpreter. Ursus S.A President of the Board, Mr Karol Zarajczyk, said assembling of a tractor factory would start in the next three months. The plant will have the capacity of assembling 2,500 tractors annually, at the beginning and employ the same number of workers,” Zarajczyk said.
He added: “We are planning to start construction of the plant with advanced technology in the next three months.” “We are still looking for a suitable area for the plant construction, but it is either in Dar es Salaam or Coast Region preferable Kibaha.”
The assembly plant envisages exporting some of the tractors to neighbourhood countries, the president of the board said. SUMA-JKT Chief Executive, Major General Raphael Muhuga, said the deal has received all the blessing from Attorney General (AG) office and is jointly implemented by SUMA and Ursus.
“The success witnessed (during the signing ceremony) shows the commitment... on ensuring sustained food security in the country. “Éas well as improved performance of the agricultural sector through utilisation of modern agricultural practices,” Major General Muhuga said. The Ursus factory was found in 1893 by three engineers and four businessmen.
It began producing exhaust engines and then later trucks and metal fittings. SUMA-JKT, overtime have accumulated experience when it comes on selling tractors, spare parts and farm implements.
In October 2010, SUMA JKT started selling tractors from Mwenge Light Industries. The company is entrusted by the government with heavy obligation of extending agricultural service to farmers under the Kilimo Kwanza (Agriculture First) initiative.
Today SUMA-JKT wants to assemble the tractor locally thus reducing some associated costs from importing and bring close after sales services to farmers. The pilot centres or clinics, for after sale services, was opened in Ruvuma recently to be followed by others in Arusha, Dodoma and Mwanza.
SUMA-JKT Agro-Machinery Project Manager, Lieutenant-Colonel Andrew Mkinga, said these centres are constructed in bid to bring close after sale services to farmers and reduce the burden of travelling all the way to Dar es Salaam.
“The centres apart from offering spare parts and the like, will educate farmers on how best to maximise the use of tractors,” Lt Col. Mkinga, who is also an engineer, said. Most of the machines which SUMA-JKT sells are general-purpose tractor that satisfy differing demands. Some of them are New Holland series TT tractors and Farmtrac designed to meet such needs.
Agriculture is one of the leading sectors in the country accounting for almost quarter of the GDP, 30 per cent of total exports and 65 per cent of raw materials for local industries.

afadhali yeye amestuka kuona TZ inapaa na anayo haki ya kuogopa maana mara anasikia watu wanajenga oil pipeline,mara anaiona hii SGR network
mara anasikia TAZARA inafufuliwa na watu wanafikiria kuimaliza SADC watoboe hadi South Africa,Mara anaona Mgodi wa Chuma na makaa ya mawe huko liganga na mchuchuma umeanza kujengwa(talking about $3bn project),mara anaona serikali imetenga zaidi ya $3bn kwaajili ya ujenzi,usafirishaji na uchukuzi,mara anaona LNG plant imeanza kujengwa ($15-20bn) mara anaona Kiwanda cha mbolea(kikubwa kuliko vyote Africa)kinaanza kujengwa $3bn project,mara anaona watu wameagiza ndege nne kwaajili ya kuifufua Kilimanjaro airways,mara anaona Bandari ya bagamoyo $11bn project inaanza kujengwa....etc
kwa hayo yote anayo kila sababu ya kuogopa na ninampongeza kwa kuliona hilo.

Wakenya wengi wanafikiri SRG ni FDI, That's a loan from Exim Bank that is to be paid at interest. Kenya's FDI for 2015 was around $500 mln while Tanzania's was above $2.7 bln!

We Geza acha kukurupuka tulia usome,ninazungumzia ku maximize comperative advantage kwenye kilimo sio competitive.Ni sawa lazima tuboreshe mazingira ya kufanya biashara lakini ili tufaulu lazima ku deal na obstacles zote kwa pamoja/semulteneously comprehensive approach,unfortunately Tzn huwa haifanyi hivi.Back to my agriculture point,Lazima 10% ya bajeti itengwe kwa kilimo ili tupate surplus food for domestic and exports,for agro-processing but kubwa saizi ku contain inflation rate.Kwa kipato cha dola 600 kwa mwaka na inflation ya 6-10 percent utawezaje ku raise aggregate demand na Saving?

Alafu unakuja na vimiradi vya kwenye makaratasi,hebu leta uthibitisho kuwa hiyo assembly plant ya ubia wa poland na SUMA JKT iko operational.SAGCOT ilijifia kama Kilimo kwanza na Feed Africa initiative ya wamarekani,tractors za kilimo kwanza zinabeba taka tu hapa dar na nyinyine zinaoza pale SUMA JKT..In short huwa siwaamini fisiem na mipango yao ya kukurupuka then inaishia hewani hawako consistent kabisa kama huamini tusubiri Tzn ya viwanda

While Greenfield Project at JKIA failed, Terminal II is to be expanded and modernized
Tanzania: France Pumps in 161 Billion/ - for JNIA Two Revamp
Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) Terminal II.
By Hilda Mhagama
France, through its International Development Agency (AFD), has granted 65 million Euros (about 161.5bn/) as a concessional loan for the modernisation and extension of the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) Terminal II built in the 1980s.
AFD Country Representative Mr Emmanuel Baudran told the 'Daily News' in Dar es Salaam yesterday that they have already sent the draft to the government, detailing how disbursement of the loan will be done and the interest rate involved.
"Our government has already approved the funds since December 2015; but we are currently negotiating with the government of Tanzania before signing the sovereign loan. We might sign it in September or October," he hoped.
Mr Baudran said that at Tanzania's request, AFD will finance the extension of the internal hall, construction of two new wings, parking space, rearrangement of the terminal, boarding areas, commercial areas and standard equipment.
He further said the modernisation of the Terminal II was due to its impact on tourism and envisaged business developments in secondary cities. JNIA is the principal airport serving Dar es Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania.
The government embarked on an improvement programme of its ageing airports infrastructure in the mid-nineties to open up more development opportunities and spur economic growth for all areas in Tanzania.
Currently, the airport has only one terminal building for passengers, whose three lounges, departure, arrival and VIP serve 200 passengers at a time and 500,000 per annum. AFD is a recent donor in Tanzania.
It opened its office in Dar es Salaam in 2007. Since 2009, it has provided a total of over 360 million Euros in the country, mainly in the form of concessional loans. In Tanzania, in accordance with its regional strategy for 2014-2016, AFD supports projects that stimulate a sustainable growth and the reduction of poverty.
The agency works hand-in-hand with the Tanzanian government to mobilise an increasing amount of funds, sovereign and non-sovereign, in sectors where the greatest impact can be felt.
Expounding further, Mr Baudran said AFD has also approved a total of 11 million Euros concessional loan to BOA-T in form of credit line for investments in renewable energy and in energy efficiency.
The fund is part of the SUNREF regional poncessional loan for the modernisation and extension of the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) Terminal II buiRevamplt in the 1980s.
AFD Country Representative Mr Emmanuel Baudran told the 'Daily News' in Dar es Salaam yesterday that they have already sent the draft to the government, detailing how disbursement of the loan will be done and the interest rate involved.
rogramme, which provides a free international technical assistance to the banks and to promoters. The outgoing AFD Director for East Africa Regions, Mr Yves Boudot, pledged that AFD will further increase its support to Tanzania with an objective to provide a volume of 100 million Euros per year to support the development of water, energy and transport of the country.
"This objective is in line with the target announced in September 2015 by the French President to increase AFD commitments by 50 per cent by 2020 and to bring the institution up to a level to meet the challenges of the 21st century," he explained.

How can you claim the whites to be the developers of Kenya and Nairobi yet Tanzania receives up to 5 times the FDI of Kenya from these very same whites? Which country is now being more developed by whites from the above fact? Tumia facts kaka vile kina Geza na Towashi wanafanya.
