TANZANIA TOPPLES SOUTH AFRICA AS KENYA’S TOP SOURCE OF IMPORTS IN AFRICA

Kenya President Uhuru Kenyatta (right) and his Tanzania counterpart President Samia Suluhu Hassan having a word during Kenya-Tanzania Business Forum at Serena Hotel on May 5, 2021.

Tanzania has become the largest source market for Kenya on the continent after overtaking South Africa, partly on the back of increased orders of maize and rice by millers.

Official trade statistics show expenditure on goods trucked from Tanzania nearly doubled last year to Sh54.47 billion from Sh27.88 billion the year before.

The 95.38 percent, or Sh26.59 billion, bump in imports catapulted Tanzania to the top position in Africa after orders from South Africa fell 3.72 percent to Sh44.08 billion, according to data collated by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS).

“Imports from Tanzania nearly doubled from Sh27.9 billion in 2020 to Sh54.5 billion in 2021 partly attributable to increase in imports of maize and rice from this country,” KNBS analysts wrote in the Economic Survey 2022.

Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta and his counterpart Samia Suluhu in May last year pledged to end persistent strained trade relations between the two largest economies in the six-nation East African Community bloc which have, for years, hindered the smooth flow of goods and services.

Ms Suluhu’s visit to Nairobi touched off a series of joint trade meetings aimed at flattening barriers to the flow of goods.

INSIDE TANZANIA, UGANDA DEALS SEALED DURING PRESIDENT SAMIA’S STATE VISIT TO UGANDA

President Samia Suluhu Hassan is briefed by Roofings Group Chairman and Executive Director, Sikander Lalani on operations at the firm’s factory in Kampala yesterday. The firm manufactures steel products, including roofing sheets and pipes.

Kampala - Tanzania has agreed to cut a road toll by about 71 percent on the Uganda-bound cargo trucks as part of the consensus reached during the meeting of leaders of the two countries.

From mid-last year, Tanzania government charged $500 on Ugandan cargo trucks as fees collected for road repairs and maintenance.

Kampala immediately protested and filed a complaint with the East African Community (EAC) Council of Ministers accusing Dodoma of breaching the Common Market Protocol by imposing different road user charges to partner states in the same trading bloc. The Common Market is one of the pillars of the seven member regional bloc.

However, starting next financial year, which kicks-off this July, Tanzania will charge $10 per 100km on the cargo trucks plying the 1,485km Mutukula-Dar es Salaam route.

The $10 translates into about $144 for the distance, down from the $500.

While Dodoma had increased the levy on Uganda-bound cargo trucks, it maintained that of $152 charged on Rwanda-bound cargo trucks. Tanzania serves as gateway to the sea to its landlocked neighbours Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia and Malawi, mainly through the Dar es Salaam port.

• Outlines long-term measures, MPs congratulate President Samia

The government has dished out a total of 100bn/- as an emergency measure to subsidise and cushion the skyrocketing fuel prices with effect from next month.

Announcing the measure in the National Assembly on Tuesday, Minister for Energy, January Makamba said President Samia Suluhu Hassan having convened a meeting with Ministers directed for instituting the measure to bring relief to Tanzanians.

Elaborating, the Minister noted that the funds released in fuel relief package will not affect development projects.

SILVERLANDS TANZANIA NAMED AMONGST AFRICA’S FASTEST GROWING COMPANIES IN THE FINANCIAL TIMES’ 2022 SURVEY

London, 3 May 2022 - Silverlands Tanzania Limited (Silverlands Tanzania) has been named as one of Africa’s Fastest Growing Companies 2022 in an inaugural report published today by The Financial Times. The report names the top 75 companies across the continent as measured by the strongest revenue growth between 2017 and 2020. Only six businesses from the agricultural sector made the top 75.

Silverlands Tanzania was one of only two Tanzanian companies making the top 75 and it achieved an extraordinary revenue growth of 40.4% p.a., ranking 25th overall, and has continued to achieve similar growth rates despite the pandemic.

SilverStreet Capital, a leading impact investment advisor, first invested into Silverlands Tanzania in 2014 with an aim to positively impact smallholder poultry and grain farmers in East Africa, an industry that was previously poorly developed.

Silverlands Tanzania is an integrated poultry business that produces high quality poultry feed and day-old chicks. From a standing start in 2014, it is now the largest feed producer in Tanzania and the third largest producer of day-old chicks, selling 14 million in 2021.

Before Silverlands I created Silverlands Tanzania, the Tanzanian poultry sector remained undeveloped because of inefficient breeds and poor-quality feed. STL introduced new poultry breeds for layers and broilers as well as the Sasso breed, a dual-purpose breed suited to the free-range, village environment. Silverlands Tanzania’s chick and feed products are aimed at smallholder farmers who represent the very large majority of poultry production in Tanzania. With better feed and breeds, Tanzanian poultry farmers are able to produce poultry profitably and demand growth has been substantial. Increased chicken and egg production has helped to reduce stunting in children, a common problem in Sub-Saharan Africa.

It will take more than a single documentary to parade Tanzania’s abundant tourist attractions.

The Royal Tour documentary, now confirmed as Part I, is just the beginning of an ambitious tourism and investment sectors’ promotion drive.

President Samia Suluhu Hassan confirmed on Sunday that Tanzanians and the world should be prepared for the second and third parts of her Royal Tour, as she underlined her commitment to accelerate the tourism sector’s recovery from the shackles of Covid-19 pandemic.

The Head of State made the revelation during the national premiering of the documentary at the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre (JNICC) in Dar es Salaam on Sunday, amid applause from thousands of viewers, who showed up for the big event in the country’s commercial city.

President Samia revealed that the government had set a target of collecting 20bn/- for filming of the documentary but it managed to fetch 12.7bn/- out of 19bn/- which was pledged by various stakeholders.

“The filming of the documentary was not an easy task during the eight days of the production but we managed it through support from well-wishers. We are now focusing on producing the second and third phase to promote tourism opportunities,” the President disclosed in her brief speech before the last premiering of the 56-minute documentary.

She noted that the cost of filming the first phase of the Royal Tour documentary was 7bn/-, insisting that the amount was raised through contributions by various stakeholders in the private sector.

President Samia mentioned some of the contributors who made it possible for the production of the documentary as members of the Tanzania Bankers Association (TBA), CEO Round Table of Tanzania (CEOrt), Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF) and Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA).

John Mongela, wakati wa kufunga Kongamano la Wiki ya ununuzi wa umma lililowakutanisha wadau wa ununuzi takribani 1,000 wakiwemo maafisa ugavi, wazabuni, wajumbe wa bodi na maafisa masuuli kutoka Wizara, taasisi, Halmashauri na sekta binafsi.

Alisema kuwa sheria nzuri pamoja na mifumo mizuri ya Tehama, haitakuwa na maana kama wanaohusika kwenye michakato ya ununuzi hawatazingatia miiko ya taaluma zao, uadilifu na uzalendo.
