Infrastructural and Regulatory Bottlenecks of Intensification and Diversification of Regional Agricultural Trade and Value Addition in Tanzania
No full textThe purpose of this brief is to identify and summarize the critical bottlenecks related to the policy and regulatory environment, infrastructure, and public services that constrain the intensification and diversification of Tanzania’s intra-regional trade and value addition. Unlike Africa’s trade with the rest of the world, which mainly consists of primary commodities, intra-regional agricultural trade in the continent is heavily dominated by processed products. Most of the bottlenecks limiting the expansion of intra-regional trade are associated with intermediary actors involved in agri-food processing, transportation and wholesale and retail trade. However, before exploring these bottlenecks, we outline Tanzania’s trade potential, competitiveness, and priority value chains

Climate risks and vulnerabilities in African agrifood systems
Get PDFIn an era when the impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly pronounced, understanding and mitigating climate risk is paramount, especially for regions highly vulnerable to environmental change. Africa, with its rich biodiversity and varied climates, stands on the front line, facing unique challenges posed by climate change and climate variability. The continent’s susceptibility around climate change is not just a matter of environmental concern but a multifaceted issue affecting socioeconomic development, agricultural sustainability, and the overall well-being of its inhabitants. The imperative to assess, comprehend, and adapt to these risks is more critical now than ever, necessitating a detailed analysis of various climate-related parameters and their long-term implications
