| dc.description | Agriculture is a prominent sector for the United Republic of Tanzania’s economic development, contributing around 24 percent of GDP, and employing 65 percent of the working population. In this context, rice is the second most important crop in the country, and is mostly grown by farmers as a cash crop for local and regional markets. However, farmers have difficulty accessing important extension, storage and financial services, which would enable their inclusion in the growing agricultural markets. The challenges to access these and other services are even greater for women and youth smallholder farmers, who lack ownership of major means of production, such as land. Against this background, the project aimed to increase rice value chain competitiveness and reduce post harvest losses in Iringa region, by improving managerial capacity, creating sustainable rice value chains with public private partnerships, and enhancing post harvest handling, storage and management, among other things. | |
