Ukanda huu wa Afrika mashariki, Tanzania ndio ya mwisho imeshindwa hata na Burundi kwenye ufadhili wa kilimo, Rwanda ndio inaongoza ikifuatwa na Kenya.
Hizi taarifa ni kwa mujibu wa bunge la Tanzania

Tanzania is lagging behind other East African countries in financing agriculture, Parliament was told on Tuesday.
The Agriculture, Livestock and Water Committee said that while Rwanda topped regional performance with 61 marks in implementing the Malabo Declaration, Tanzania scored 3.1. Kenya, Burundi and Uganda scored 4.8, 4.7 and 4.4, respectively. The Malabo Declaration is a set of goals aiming for a more targeted approach to achieving the agricultural vision for the continent, which is shared prosperity and improved livelihoods.
The committee also voiced its concern about what it said was an inadequate budget proposed for the Ministry of Agriculture despite the sector being the biggest employer in the country and a key pillar of the economy.
Although agriculture provided 65 per cent of industrial raw materials and employed 65.5 per cent of Tanzanians, it was not growing fast enough to meet the aspirations of a country that hopes to transform itself into a middle-income economy in the next few years, MPs said.
