  • How can Tanzania become a leading cotton producer?
  • Increase production of cotton in Tanzania to make it the leading cotton producer in Tanzania. The long-term target is to attain one million tonnes by 2023 Tanzania currently produces medium staple cotton, which converts into lower quality yarn and fabric that is not accepted by global markets.
  • Is seed cotton produced in Tanzania?
  • As earlier discussion of low yields in the Tanzanian sector suggested, seed cotton production in Tanzania is quite extensive. A negligible proportion of producers (1-2%) uses any inorganic fertiliser in cotton production28. However, the 2004 household survey
  • What happened to the cotton sector in Tanzania?
  • Following liberalization in 1994, the state largely withdrew from the cotton sector in Tanzania. However, when production fell sharply in the latter part of the decade, the state, in the form of the Tanzania Cotton Board, renewed its engagement in the affairs of the sector.
  • Why is soil fertility a key issue for the Tanzanian cotton sector?
  • Sector Sustainability Soil fertility is a key issue for the Tanzanian cotton sector. Smallholder production of cotton in Tanzania is low cost, hence internationally competitive, fundamentally because producers are able to obtain tolerable seed cotton yields with very little capital investment, thanks to the continuing fertility of their soil.
  • How competitive is the Tanzanian cotton sector?
  • Importantly for wider policy debates, the Tanzanian cotton sector, unlike many others in sub-Saharan Africa, operates in a highly competitive market structure. With high local taxes and transport costs, the sector nevertheless pays reasonably attractive prices to producers.
  • What is a good cotton yield in Tanzania?
  • The conclusion reached by both Baffes, 2002 and Maro and Poulton, 2004 was that a credible ballpark yield figure for the Tanzanian cotton sector is 500 kg/ha. This, of course, is a low figure even within Africa, let alone internationally.
