Hali ya upungufu wa mavuno tishio la Usalama wa chakula Tanzania 2020 - 2021
Changamoto kubwa baada ya mafuriko na mvua nzito zisizo koma kukumba maeneo mengi ya Tanzania ni suala la usalama wa chakula kupitia akiba ya mazao kama mahindi, mpunga, mihogo, ulezi na mtama.
Hapa pia haijagusiwa bei ya vyakula kupaa na kuwa ghali kwa waishio mijini huku pia wakulima wakihemea chakula.
Mpaka sasa si Wizara ya Kilimo wala Idara ya Hali ya Hewa iliyoweza kutoa angalizo na tathmini juu ya yajao kuhusu usalama wa chakula.

Pia hakuna ripoti kamili kuhusu uharibifu wa miundo mbinu ya barabara na madaraja toka Wizara ya Uchukuzi, Ujenzi na Mawasiliano ktk maeneo ya mikoa inayozalisha chakula kwa wingi kama mikoa ya Mbeya, Songwe au Rukwa. Pia mikoa ya Kaskazini na ziwa kama Mara, Manyara huku mikoa ya Tabora, Kagera na Geita pia.

Wafuatiliaji makini wameangazia macho yao kuanzia mwezi Machi 2020 kuwa hali halisi itajitokeza juu ya upungufu wa chakula na njaa ambao umesababishwa si na ukame bali mvua nyingi mafuriko na uharibifu wa miundo mbinu ya barabara na madaraja kote nchini Tanzania. Mbegu na Mimea mingi itaozea ardhini kutokana na unyevu unyevu mwingi kupita kiasi wa mashamba na mavuno kukosekana.

Waziri wa Kilimo Mh. Japhet Hasunga hali ya chakula kwa miaka 5 iliyopita ilikuwa nzuri 2013 mpaka 2018. Nchi ktk kipindi cha miaka 5 iliyopita kulikuwepo na utoshelevu wa asilimia 120 ya mahitaji ya chakula. Uzalishaji mzuri mpaka kuwa na ziada ya chakula cha tani milioni 2.6 Hii ilisababishwa na hali nzuri ya hewa, upatikanaji wa pembejeo kwa wakati, miundo mbinu ya usambazaji kama barabara zinazopitika. Tathimini ya wizara iliyofanyika 2017/18 hali ya hewa ikiwa nzuri inaonesha uzalishaji utafikia tani milioni 16 kwa mwaka 2019/2020

The recent JFM forecast update suggests there are heightened chances that crop moisture deficits can occur during critical periods of crop growth. Most cereal crops in the region typically reach the critical flowering and ripening stage during the January-to-March period. Any severe moisture stress during these critical crop growth stages can cause significant levels of yield reduction. The high likelihood of low rainfall during the JFM period also raises the possibility of additional negative impacts on livestock, pastures and water availability. This is likely to exacerbate the impacts of the severe 2018/2019 drought that already affected many countries in the region. Many areas in the region have had unfavourable, low rainfall in several of the last few seasons, resulting in low crop production, reduced water supply, and poor livestock conditions. Coping capacity of households dependent on agriculture are therefore likely to be stretched in these areas. Irrigation potential has also been reduced in areas where river, reservoir and groundwater levels have been severely impacted by past recent droughts. In the case of Kariba dam, the extremely low water levels have also impacted electricity production, thereby affecting farmers’ ability to irrigate in Zambia, and more-so in Zimbabwe where rolling power outages of 18 hours per day are occurring in many areas.
As the rainfall season progresses in southern Africa, close monitoring of the situation is required, given the poor start of the rainfall season in many areas, the existing drought from the last season, and the likelihood of low JFM rainfall predicted by forecasting centres.
