AGRA

AGRA’S Agricultural Transformation Office (ATO) made a strong showing at Nane Nane 2025, Tanzania’s annual national agricultural exhibition. The platform was used to promote the Agriculture Master Plan (AMP) in alignment with the Tanzania Development Vision 2050 (DIRA 2050), highlight AMP flagship initiatives, and engage stakeholders in shaping practical solutions for the agricultural sector.

Key Highlights

Farmer Voices
Farmers expressed optimism about the AMP and emerging technologies, requesting more accessible financing, suitable seed varieties, and clear guidance on loan access. Youth- and women-focused demonstrations were especially well-received for their practical, easy-to-apply content.

Outcomes & Next Steps
The event boosted AMP visibility, sparked new partnership opportunities, and gathered valuable farmer insights and feedback to inform upcoming priorities — including quick-win financing pilots and expanded outreach materials in Swahili. ATO reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the AMP remains practical and inclusive.

Leaders’ Perspectives
The Vice President urged stronger alignment with DIRA 2050 and closer links between policy and practice. The Ministry of Agriculture’s Permanent Secretary emphasised Nane Nane’s role as a platform for farmer education, training, and stakeholder engagement.
