Agriculture is the main part of Tanzania`s economy. As of 2016, Tanzania
had over 44 million hectares of arable land with only 33 percent of this
amount in cultivation. Almost 70 percent of the poor population lives in
rural areas, and almost all of them are involved in the farming sector.
Land is a vital asset in ensuring food security. The agricultural industry
makes a large contribution to the country foreign exchange earnings.

Challenges on farmers range from lack of modern agricultural technology, inadequate water on dry seasons to floods. These pose severe challenges to the living standards of most people involved in the agriculture industry and lead to increase in unemployment, malnutrition and starvation.
