6 FARMERS CHALLENGES Access to reliable and profitable markets- 69.5% Access to credit (60.9%) Access to water (47.1%) Lack of labor (28.8%) Access to information (26.9) Access to land (11.5) Access to inputs (10.2)- cost of input transport (51.4) Lack of transport (17.1) Unfavorable business environment due to unstable and unpredictable policies and regulatory framework- lack of consistency and transparency in enforcement of the same.

7 Our Driving Factors! Reliable markets Innovation- Farming as business Inputs-Quality, accessibility, availability and utilization Infrastructure Vibrant, profitable and sustainable value chains: ENABLING ENVIRONMENT: policies, regulatory framwk,

8 GAPS AND INNOVATION TARGET WAS TO ENGAGE ABOUT 570 FARMERS ACHIEVED TODATE UNGUJA = 800 FARMERS PEMBA===500 FARMERS- MOBILIZED 250 ALREADY

9 Traditional Vs GAPs BEFORE AFTER Better yields and quality pineapples

10 Traditional Vs GAPs BEFORE AFTER Plants/acre/yr: 7,000-8,000 Value/acre/yr: TZS 2.4m-3.2m US $ 1,430-1,900 Plants/acre/yr: 18,000 Value/acre/yr: TZS 7.2million US$ 4,286

11 Good Agriculture Practices (GAPS) Improved production and productivity by % Better use of water resource Improved quality Remain green- environmental smart

12 210 students were practically trained at the PTC A new PTC at the Zanzibar Commercial school: TAHA targets about 400 youths TAHA hosted 3 students as trainees

13 Access to inputs Facilitate registration of quality inputs through the GoT system Pesticides BCAs TAHA and Milele/TAPP in Zanzibar- Input subsidy programe (50/50) ZAIDI Commercial nurseries

14 QUALITY INPUTS NEW INTERVENTION-NURSERY 38,750 seedlings (tomato 24,600; sweet pepper 14,150) were distributed (sold) to farmers

15 Performance Highlights Industry Growth- 11% growth rate/annum Figure: Yields change as a result of TAHA/TAPP interventions

16 TRANSFORMATIVE RESULTS Increased germination by 80-90% Increased productivity by % Prolonged harvesting period- up to 9months Increased products shelf life

17 ACCESS TO WATER IN ZNZ TAHA and Milele Foundation have partners in addressing the challenge Testing and implementing innovative water technologies such as solar pump for irrigation A solar pump already installed in Nyamanzi Water infrastructure in Cheju

18 TAHA Regional TO TAHA engaged 15 District Based Facilitators (DBF) and 75 Community Based Facilitators (CBF) DBF DBF DBFs and Lead farmers (CBFs) are equipped with the right skills in driving technologies on the ground for improved production CBF CBF CBF CBF CBF CBF 12,000-15,000 farmers per quarter

19 Access to affordable irrigation technologies 3 trial kits of affordable drip irrigation have been installed Normal price for 1 kit ranges from TZS 1.6m TZS 3m This type of irrigation kit will cost only TZS 800,000 per acre TAHA agronomist in a training session with farmers

20 Access to affordable irrigation technologies Pumps have been procured from Grundfoss and ready for installation Structural engineers are working on the water stand design which can carry a water tank of at least 12,000 litres and a tower for solar panels TAHA agronomist in a training session with farmers

21 ACCESS TO MARKETS New company- Fresh2Sokoni Ltd Local Markets- Hotel linkages through ZESA and direct The government bylaws Other potential markets already identified Comoro Oman/Muskat Israel

26 Markets support infrastructure Storage/holding hence reduces PHLs Better prices: collective bargaining with buyers Service centers: demo plots, trainings, Inputs outlets Traditional farmers collection points

27 Markets support infrastructure On farm collection centers Building Farmers Service centers Modern pack facilities (with compressors and advanced cooling systems). Use of zero energy cooling system Holding plastic crates

28 COLLECTIONC CENTERS In Zanzibar Donge and Bambi Mpapa 2015/06/23 28

29 COLLECTION CENTERS Operation Model An oversight committee Membership: TAHA, Farmers, and Government TAHA will provide general oversight COOLING SYSTEM 3 solar system suppliers have been identified When the first building is ready the suppliers will visit the site before they submit quote Leaders and government will be continuously trained on management, business and leadership aspects

30 Challenges Limited access of agriculture inputs and good quality seeds Fake agroinputs Big technology gap, not enough technology transfer (extension) Limited water infrastructure Climate (flash floods, erosion, drought) Improved market linkages and post harvest Cultural issues

32 MARKETING AND INFORMATION SPECIALIST ANALYSIS: I prefer them because I have seen how MVIWATA and Farm-connect systems work for years without any problem and at relatively lower cost. They also provide after sale service at cheaper rates.
