Southern Highlands Smallholder Food Crop Project
The project supported the efforts of the Tanzanian Government to
liberalize national grain trade. It also addressed the inadequate
supply of essential materials needed for production, including fuel,
fertilizers, agricultural chemicals, tools, equipment and spare parts.
The project also assisted the government in improving its projections
of demand and delivery of essential materials by establishing a coordinating
and monitoring mechanism. Finally, the project helped boost production
and procurement and marketing of maize and other crops, and provided
funds for importing agricultural products.
