Tanzania is becoming an unfavourable destination for multinational retailers due to low profitability.

Riding on incentives extended to foreign investors, multinational supermarket chains opened businesses in Tanzania, but in the past 15 years most of them have exited the market.

Since 1999, six multinational supermarkets have come into Tanzania and three closed down or sold their stake.

Score Supermarket of South Africa opened its first supermarket in Tanzania in 2000 but later sold it to another South African retail chain, Shoprite.

Kenya’s Uchumi closed down about two years ago.

Game is the latest entrant from South Africa. The other is Choppies of Botswana, with shops in Dar es Salaam

Shoprite acquired Score Supermarket’s operations in Tanzania in 2001, comprising three supermarkets and a small distribution centre. It sold its stake to Nakumatt in 2014.

Poor shopping culture

The low profitability has been attributed to a poor shopping culture among Tanzanians.

Hamphrey Moshi, an economist and researcher from the University of Dar es Salaam told The EastAfrican that the country is not as attractive to supermarket chains because the economy is smaller compared with that of countries like Kenya and South Africa.

Prof Moshi noted that all big supermarkets in the country were foreign-owned companies and were selling imported products.

“Tanzania needs local industries to produce products to sell in supermarkets. This would increase profits for these retailers,” he said.

Before closing its business in Tanzania, Uchumi issued a statement saying its outlets in Uganda and Tanzania made up only 4.75 per cent of its operations, yet accounted for over 25 per cent of its operating costs.

Since taking over from Shoprite, Nakumatt which is now the biggest supermarket in Tanzania, operates two branches in Dar es Salaam, one in Arusha and another in Moshi.

Retailers exit Tanzania over profits

Sasa wewe wanauza bidhaa za nje tu za kwetu hapana tena kwa bei kubwa. Tuliwaachia wanunue wenyewe. Wanalundika wafanya kazi toka makwao. Tuliwaachia wafanye wenyewe. Mbona nasikia hata huko Kenya Nakumatt wanasuasua? Watu walikuwa wanatucheka kuwa uchumi wa Tanzania umeshikwa na wageni. Wanatudharau, sasa tumeamka tunataka tumiliki dhahabu zetu, almasi zetu na Tanzanite zetu. Walisema Waswahili:"Alalaye usimwamshe, Ukimwamsha utalala wewe". Tumepata Kiongozi asiyeogopa ukubwa wao hayo makampuni makubwa. Wasingekuwa wanatudharau na kutucheka penginepo tungebaki tunelala. Tumeamka na hatutalala tena. Wengi wanakimbia na kuja huko Kenya. Wengi pia wamekubali kufuata utaratibu wetu na wanafanya biashara zao vizuri tu. Ukitaka kuchuma hapa kwetu tugawane vizuri Bwana alaaaah!

Nafikiri kuna kitu Dangote aliongea na Kikwete makubaliano maalum ambayo Magufuli hayatekelezi, kwanza alikua amejaza wahindi mule kiwandani kwenye section ambazo watanzania wanazimudu, Magufuli akamwambia aajiri watanzania lakini hajui kama amepewa almost free source of energy kwenye kiwanda chake.

Nasikia alikua anataka apewe eneo la bandari bure iwe kama ni private port yake hili sijui lilifikia wapi?

Wengi pia wamekubali kufuata utaratibu wetu na wanafanuaje biashara zao vizuri tu.

Kweli kabisa, niliingia branch moja ya nakumatt kila bidhaa ilikua ni ya Kenya, hakuna bidhaa hata moja ya Tanzania japo bidhaa zote wanazoimport kutoka Kenya zinazalishwa na viwanda vya ndani.

Hili ndio walikua wanafanya pale Tanzania Diaries Arusha walipewa kile kiwanda wakakiita Brookside wakawa wanazomba maziwa kwa wafugaji wa kitanzania kisha wanayapakia kwenye magari na kufanyia processing Kenya lakini mkataba unasema wazaprocess hapa nchini, Tanzania imewafukuza kabisa na ni kiwanda cha Uhuru Kenyatta.
Huu upumbavu Tanzania we are no longer entertaining

“Magufuli should have a look at” his policies.

“They’ve scared quite a lot of investors and scaring investors is not a good thing to do,”
“Once an investor complains the rest will run away, they don’t even want to hear the details.” this is what Dangote had to say..

He is not scaring investors only, even us Tanzanians!!(we are scared)

Uchumi na Nakumatt zina matatizo zao za kiundani kama usimamizi mbaya, sio kutokana na uchumi hafifu Kenya!

Mbona basi Tuskeys, Maathais, Eastmatt, Naivas, Mulei's na Tumaini zinanawiri sana?

With or without taxes, retail business isnt a very lucrative venture in Tz.

Ni ZWAZWA tu ambaye hawezi kuona uchumi wa Tanzania ulivyoanguka. Mapato ya TRA yameshuka hadi bilioni 600 kwa mwezi lakini Serikali inaficha hili lakini mnashangilia kuanguka uchumi wa Kenya kweli nyani haoni kundule. Unadhani kwanini Serikali inaficha hali halisi ya uchumi wa Tanzania? Wanakopa mapesa chungu nzima kwa riba kubwa tena kwa kificho na kuzidi kuliongeza deni la Taifa ambalo nalo linafichwa eti tunalipa 950 billioni kwa mwezi wakati si kweli ni uongo mtupu. Mchawi mbona anajulikana ni huyo dikteta uchwara asiyetaka kushauriwa na sera zake MUFILISI.

Hizo Super market na up market retailers zote hazikupswa hata kufunguliwa Tanzania kwanza kama ukiniuliza mimi, na hili halina uhusiano na nani ni Raisi wa Tanzania, Tanzania kwa sasa hatuna middle class ya kuweza kusupport hiyo industry huwo ndiyo ukweli, mfano tu watu wanaoweza kutoa 500 USD kununua Kifaa cha umeme kama friji, Jiko au sijui washing machine Tanzania hawafikii hata 0.5% sasa unawezaje kuendesha shopping malls kwenye nchi ambayo ina purchasing power ndogo namna hiyo?

Kwa maoni yangu hawa watu hawakupaswa hata kuja Tanzania, bado hatujafikia huko!

Which economic and political analysts have predicted Kenya's collapse?
Moody's? Duh! What is the size of the Japanese, UK, US, SA debt relative to their gdp? U really think Kenya's worst case scenario?

And really, Moody's have predicted the collapse of the Kenyan economy? A country posting 5 or 6% growth pa?
