Tanzania: 78% of People Affected By Food Shortages - Study

[Synod]

Na nimekuuliza hapa mara ngapi kama Kenya haizalishi vyakula, ya kwambs inategemea tu vyakula kutoka Tanzania na donations?

Too bad that I have limited time these days to spend arguing on the social media, otherwise ningeanzisha thread to discuss how much of the different kinds of foods Kenya produces/ consumes/ exports annually in comparison with Tz,ili tuwekane sawa.

Your agricultural output, and here I am referring to the food production, does not exceed ours. Not by such a significant margin.

Look at the amout of some selected grains, esp the staples such as maize both countries produced last year and the year b4:

www.fao.org/giews/countrybrief/country.jsp?code=KEN

www.fao.org/giews/countrybrief/country.jsp?code=TZA

Even though Kenya does not produce as much grain as Tanzania, it's effort I can say is quite impressive, given the that only 17% of the land is arable, and not even the whole of the fertile portion has been put under foodcrops production.

Na hapo hatujaweka fruits, vegetables, milk and meat etc.

Mimi nimequote mpaka majarida zenyu kuhusu hali ya njaa huko na bado unapinga tu.
Kenya pia inauza vyakula na ni nchi yenye njaa.

Kenya also produces and exports foodstuff, the cases of hunger, and the fact that we import maize from u guys do not change that fact.

Hayo majarida uliyoquote yote yanaongelea situation ya mwaka jana, ambayo kiuhalisia haikwepeki kua ukame ulipita na kusababisha kuwa na upungufu wa chakula, sio njaa!

Hayo majarida yote uanaongelea hicho, food shortage sio hunger! Wakati hapa kwetu baadhi ya maeneo yakiwa na food shortage, nyie huko mlikuwa mnachangiwa chakula!

Kitu ambacho unatakiwa kuelewa pamoja na kuleta vijarida kila post( mimi nimeshaweka sioni haja ya kurudia kila mda) ni kuwa hali Tanzania ni taifa ambalo linajitosheleza kwa chakula wakati Kenya haijitoshelezi kwa chakula!

Nimalizie kwa kukukumbusha tena kuwa nyie kwa sababu mnajiita mna uchumi mkubwa suala la njaa kwenu ni aibu kubwa sana tena sana.

Kigezo cha kusema eti only 17% ya ardhi ni arable sio hoja! Egypt ambao ni sawa na nyie kama mnavyodai wao 100% ya ardhi ni jangwa, lakini hawajui kitu kuhusu njaa! Angalia Israel and the likes!

Hivyo kama mnalalamika eti maeneo ni makame mkubali kuwa hizo data za uchumi weni ni fabricated ndo maana hamwezi kumaliza tatizo la njaa


By the way, unasema production ya Kenya ikoje? Pitia tena hz takwimu ulizoleta hapa

Sasa mbona bei ya vyakula Tanzania inaporomoka mpaka wakulima wanalalamika? Bei ya nafaka Tanzania yaanza kushuka

Lakini embu tupate taarifa kwa wenye mamlaka na hali ya chakula nchini

Nafkiri nimesema hapo vyema, ikiwa eneo ndogo sana ya Kenya ndio inaproduce nafaka kiasi hicho, just imagine Kenya ingekuwa na ardhi kubwa yenye rotuba kama Tanzania!


Kataa ukubali, hali ya lishe bado tatizo sana hapo Tanzania, even with all the food u claim to produce.

Hata kama hizo ripoti zilikuwa ni za last year, bado zimeonyesha taswira ambayo sio tofauti na maeneo fulani hapa Kenya; ya kwamba kukiwa na drought hmkunakuwa na uhaba wa chakula.

Mwaka huu pekee tumesikia ati 78% ya watu walikuwa na tabu ya kupata chakula. Kiwango hicho hatujawahi pata kusikia hapa Kenya!

Kitu ambacho nakukatalia ninkisingizia udogo wa ardhi au ardhi kukosa rutuba! Labda sisi LDC ndo tungekuwa tunalalamika juu ya hali hiyo, lakini nyie mnaojiita middle income, hiki ni kichekesho!

Kaka ukiongelea ukubwa wa ardhi, fikiria nchi kama Israel, ni ka nchi kadogo sana ambako 98% ni jangwa! Lakini ka nchi hako kadogo last time ndo kamewapa msaada wa chakula!

Hivyo narudia tena kusingizia ardhi haina rutuba mara nini hizo ni porojo! Well tuseme basi hivyo ndo vikwazo vyenu, then kubali kuwa kuna njaa kuliko tz, lakini eti bado inang'aka misuri kuonyesha kenya haina njaa kama tz! Lol!

Kuhusu matatizo ya lishe, nilishasema na nirudie, kuwa na tatizo la lishe haimaanishi kuwa hakuna chakula! La hasha! Ila ina maanisha kuwa watu hawana elimu ya jinsi ya kupangilia milo, badala yake wanaegemea kwenye chakula cha aina moja! Hili ni suala la kuelimisha jamii tu na nilishalisema huko nyuma!.

But Kenya is feeding well over 90% of its population, besides being the continental leader in the production of some food varieties and the cash crops and the beef abd milk production.

Kenya has one of the most mechanized agricultural sectors in Africa, and indeed the most mechanized in the region.

Agriculture contributes 25% to our economy, and Kenya earns more revenue from agriculture than Tanzania.

Mngekuwa mnafeed watu wenu kwa upbto 90% kusingekuwa na kampeini kila siku za kuchangia chakula! Wacha kutudanganya hapa brother!


Hyo mechanised structure unayoisema inatumika kuzalisha maua na otherr cash crops sio staple crops! The 25% contribution you are talking abt inatokana na cash crops! Na hii ni moja ya poor planing za Kenya!

Huwezi ukazalisha mazao ya biashara kwa kiasi kikubwa na kusahau abt food!

Mechanized agriculture has also been extended to food production in Kenya, esp in the meat and dairy industry, fruits and vegetables, wheat, barley, sorghum, maize and potatoes farming.
You know that we produce some of these foods more than u do.

If we were depending only on the rudimentary farm implements like your farmers, who cant even feed their children properly, we would have been producing only a fraction of what we produce now. But is Kenya a net importer of food? No!

Kenya asks for international food aid mainly to assist the refugees, and as for plugging the food grain shortage, it imports.

Surely, u are disputing that Kenya does not feed upto 90% of its pipo from its food production output, yet the reports on food shortage always quote figures ranging from 1 to 5mln pipo on brink of starvation.

Sasa ona mlivyo na malengo duni ya kumaliza njaa! You produce what your local can't eat!

Eti mnazalisha sana nyama, matunda, mbogamboga na ngano kwa wingi! Hebu sema hapa je hayo ndo mazao kipaumbele ya chakula hapo Kenya? Hivi kweli mkenya wa pale kakamega ataishi kwa kula mboga mboga za majani na matunda?[emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12]


Lengo lenu ni kuzalisha mazao yanayouzwa badala ya kizalisha mazao ambayo raia wa kawaida ananufaika nayo kwa chakula!

In this way, you will go on starving

All these foods are necessary in order to supplement the nutritional needs of the population, we cannot depend just on one type of food alone.

Maize is undoubtedly the most preferred food in Kenya and clearly the most grown by our farmers.
It is the most harvested grain- crop in the country.

Depending on weather circumstances, the country producess btwn 3mln and 4mln tonnes of the grain, against the demand of 5 or 6mln.

Maize does not do well in the country however, thus the current concerted effort by the govt and crops researchers to develop and introduce a new variety that can withstand most of the adverse conditions in the country and mature fast.

This variety was introduced last year:

www.nation.co.ke/business/New-maize-varieties-get-approval-for-sale/996-3224532-h7tv44/index.html

We are hopping that this will boost our production in the near future.

But no one can deny that if Kenyans were more accepting of the other grain varieties grown in the country, tgere would be no need to import maize. Thatn case of shortage,pipo would just switch to the other carbohydrate foods.
But it tough changing that attitude.

People tend to eat what they produce! If maize don't do well, where did this habbit of eating ugali than any other food come from?

Guys you need to put more efforts in food production, especially what your people prefer!

Hii tabia ya kuomba omba chakula kila siku is a shame to our block!

Sawa, that is what we are doing.

Na nyinyi pia do sumthin about the high child mortality rate, limb deformation and stunting due to malnutrition. Hamuezi mkadai ati nyinyi ni net producers of food huku mkishikilia top3 kwa list mbaya hivi.

Ati halaffu 78% kuwa na shida ya kupata mlo? Nynyi ndio mfanye hima zaidi, manake hizi sasa ndizo the mother of all shame to our region!

Tujirekebishe ili tuendelee pamoja, ama namna gani?

Hebu soma tena hyo report ya 78% maanake unaonekana umesahau inaongelea nini!

Kuhusu mortality rate, hiyo iko kwenye malengo ya millennium! Subiri kipindi chao walichotoa 2025 waje wafanye tena assessment zao uone!

Sa hz kwa kuwa hawafanyi research zozote wanasubiri hadi huo muda waloweka tunaweza kukosa data za kusibitisha, maana nikikupa data za wizara ya afya unaweza usiamini useme tunajipendelea

Mimi mwenyewe nimepata kukosolewa humu kuhusu kusema lugha ya kisugu, lakini ni kweli hamna lugha kama hiyo.

Ni kiswahili cha Kenya hicho sisi kuita Enflish ati kizungu.
