Growth Corridor and on specific crops such as rice, maize, and
horticulture. Feed the Future construction projects, such as improved
roads and irrigation, complement activities to improve farmer
productivity, nutrition, and product processing, storage, and marketing.
While Tanzania’s natural resources are an asset to the country, helping
to support the livelihoods of many individuals, unsustainable use of
these resources threatens to perpetuate the cycle of poverty. Private
sector investment and policy
initiatives improve the business enabling environment to promote
agricultural growth, while research activities build the capacity
necessary for long-term agricultural development.
