1 There are very few large scale-farms in Tanzania today, concentrated in a few regions Large-scale commercial farm above 4,000 hectares Kagera Sugar Company (12,000 ha) Kagera Mwanza Shinyanga Mara Arusha Kilimanjaro T.P.C Estate (7,600 ha) Kigoma Rukwa Tabora Mbeya Singida Dodoma Iringa Manyara Ruvuma Tanga Morogoro Pwani Lindi Mtwara Zanzibar Dar Es Salaam Mtibwa Sugar Estate (7,500 ha) Kilombero Sugar(K1) (5,000 ha) Kilombero Sugar(K2) (5,000 ha) Kilombero Plantation (4,000 ha) 2

1 The business environment is not attractive for investors Land Infrastructure Policy and governance We have been here for 7 years, and still do not have the land title The process to obtain land title and derivative rights is cumbersome and not well communicated to investors There are no access roads to the farm We have to build irrigation infrastructure not only for ourselves but also for our outgrowers There is no reliable power supply The government decided to allow the import of 120,000 tonnes of tariff-free rice, as a result, the price of rice has dropped, and this might put us out of business The government need to honor the contract that they sign- they did not renew the incentives they promised We were supposed to have water rights for 20 years, but now we are being told that it expires in 5 years We have to work with so many different government departments and no one feels accountable to ensure that due processes are adhered to The cess tax is a huge disincentive for investment and smallholders alike 3

Existing irrigation schemes are plagued with challenges along the value chain resulting in low yield and income Land and infrastructure Extension services Inputs Market Key issues Land tenure not secured in selected irrigated areas Inadequate investment in smallholder irrigation development Ineffective management of smallholder irrigation schemes Underdevelopment of irrigation potential area with improved irrigation infrastructure Underutilization of irrigation land Low supervision of crop management at scheme level Low knowledge of rice management of farmers and extension officers Lack of transport facilities to extension officers and irrigation technicians Poor access to inputs by smallholders Existence of poor quality inputs in the market Inadequate availability and distribution of inputs Poor application or use of inputs Little usage of improved/high yielding varieties Inadequate usage of mechanisation among smallholder farmers Poor or unavailability of storage facilities Poor processing facilities Poor marketing structure Unreliable outputs markets Lack of accountability for government officials for underperformance Yields and incomes are low 41

Key issues along the value chain Land and infrastructure Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Land tenure not secured in selected irrigated areas Farmers in some villages do not have legal rights over their farms where these schemes are found not to have land use plans Without Certificate of Customary Right of Occupancy (CCROs), farmers are not able to access credit facilities Local Government Authorities do not have sufficient capabilities to facilitate village land use planning as well as issuance of CCROs To prepare land use plans for villages with irrigation schemes Mapping rice fields and issuing CCROs to individual farmers Capacity building to district authorities to establish Department of Irrigation Village Government District Councils National Land Use Planning Commission Ministry of Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Inadequate investment in smallholder irrigation development Inadequate capacity of farmers to invest in the planning and construction of irrigation infrastructure Inadequate construction skills of farmers Low level of funding by the Government and low rate of investment by private sector in irrigation investments Climate change causes shortages of water in recent years To support the improvement of traditional irrigation schemes infrastructures including construction of dams where feasible and the software Promote awareness for the beneficiary contribution to the improvement of their irrigation scheme infrastructures Train farmers on irrigation techniques covering water management and support district staff to ensure improved agronomic practices Support development of water storage facilities to ensure reliable water supply where possible Irrigators Organisation Government of Tanzania Non- Governmental Organisation Community Based Organisations 42

Key issues along the value chain Land and infrastructure Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Ineffective management of smallholder irrigation schemes Inadequate skills on operation and maintenance resulting in water use inefficiency Low capacity of organisations and poor governance Inadequate environmental consideration during planning and implementing irrigation schemes Some of these scheme have deteriorated and where efforts for rehabilitation or upgrading of traditional schemes has been done by the government, majority of them are semi-finished due to underfunding Establish a professional management requirement Strengthen the capacity of irrigators organizations for effective monitoring and management of irrigation schemes Institute a legal framework that will require all farmers owning land in an irrigation scheme to be members of the irrigators organization Institute a mechanism that will enable Irrigators Organisations to prepare constitutions and bylaws and their effective enforcement Institute mandatory formal transactions on transfer of land from one farmer to another in an irrigation scheme Establish a mechanism for service providers in the private sector to provide services for management of irrigation infrastructure where farmers have demonstrated inadequate capacity Establish mechanisms for effective representation of scheme management systems into river basin management sub-systems Support the rehabilitation, remodeling and upgrading of semi-finished irrigation schemes on the basis of cost sharing Irrigators Organisation Government of Tanzania Non- Governmental Organisation Community Based Organisations 43

Key issues along the value chain Land and infrastructure Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Underdevelopment of irrigation potential area with improved irrigation infrastructure Ineffective involvement of the private sector in large scale commercial irrigation undertakings The identified irrigation potential area has not been accurately and exhaustively mapped and demarcated Farmers lack irrigation skills Challenge to introduce the cost sharing and recovery mechanisms To promote the demand-driven irrigation scheme identification Undertake mapping and demarcation of the potential land for new irrigation schemes development Provide assistance for the development of the area targeted for irrigation expansion in collaboration with other stakeholders Assist in the mobilization, training and organization of smallholder farmers for new irrigation schemes Support in the management of newly developed irrigation schemes Establishment of effective cost sharing and recovery mechanism Irrigators Organisation Government of Tanzania Non- Governmental Organisation Community Based Organisations Underutilization of irrigation land Farmers producing one crop per year while there is potential to produce twice Farmers to be sensitized to produce a second crop where possible Irrigators Organisation Government of Tanzania Non- Governmental Organisation Community Based Organisations 44

Key issues along the value chain Land and infrastructure Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Low supervision of crop management at scheme level Few number of extension officers and irrigation technicians in the scheme as compared to the total requirement because: Poor recruitment by the government of the diploma and certificate trainees Few are employed as compared to the requirement Increased numbers of schemes increasing the demand Poor allocation of the current number of extension officers Dropouts of extension officers and irrigation technicians due to retirement and attending higher learning institutions Reallocation of extension officers and irrigation technicians due to deficiencies arising in other areas Increase number of extension officers to fill the gaps in the schemes (One extension officer for each scheme) Increase the number of irrigation technicians (One irrigation technician for each scheme) Government of Tanzania Local Government Authority 45

Key issues along the value chain Land and infrastructure Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Low knowledge of rice management of farmers and extension officers Many extension officers and irrigation technicians are insufficiently trained in irrigated rice technology basing on the Principles of Farmer Field School and Integrated Pest Management (FFS/IPM) Some of extension officers were trained long time before the current rice culture development Weak research/extension linkage Few farmers are trained on use rice management and water management Retraining of extension and irrigation technicians Recall the extension officers allocated to the respective areas for rice technology training Train farmers on rice irrigation and water use management Government of Tanzania Local Government Authority Lack of transport facilities to extension officers and irrigation technicians Insufficient transport facilities and inputs and working gears for field training and demonstration The extension officers and irrigation technicians be given transport and working gears Government of Tanzania Local Government Authority 46

Key issues along the value chain Land and Land and infrastructur infrastructure e Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Poor access to inputs by smallholders Difficulties to access credit for procuring inputs due to tough terms and conditions (stringent collateral requirements; prohibitive interest rates; high bank charges and fees; loan processing bureaucracy discourages) that cannot be met by the farmers and the agro dealers Currently the Government inputs subsidy is not as smart as it is supposed to be. This is because most of the some of the farmers who are selected to receive inputs vouchers are poor to the extent that they cannot afford topping up the vouchers Low price of agricultural produce make farmers fail to afford inputs. In most cases farmers use proceeds of crops to purchase inputs Smallholder farmers should market their crop produce through Warehouse Receipt System where it is easy to link them with financial institutions (banks, SACCOS, inputs distributors etc.) Farmers in irrigation schemes be provided with inputs subsidy vouchers Smallholder farmers are sensitized to market their crop produce through Warehouse Receipt System where they can access loans from lending institutions while waiting for the prices to go up Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives District authorities Private Sector Organisation Irrigators Organisation Existence of poor quality inputs in the market Many counterfeit inputs are sold in many agro dealer shop in the country Strengthen the enforcement of the existing inputs laws (Seed Act, Fertilizer Act and Plant Protection Act) and also reviewing them to combat the emerging tricks used by defaulters Irrigators Organisation to promote inputs in bulk from reliable suppliers Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives Input suppliers 47

Key issues along the value chain Land and Land and infrastructur infrastructure e Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Inadequate availability and distribution of inputs Poor roads infrastructure: rural feeder roads connecting the main roads and highways with villages lack regular maintenance, resulting into not being passable throughout the season Inefficient secondary distribution network: Agro dealers are mostly located at urban areas and along the main roads District councils take deliberate efforts to maintain feeder/rural roads to enable inputs to be transported close to farmers in irrigation schemes at all times they need Government of Tanzania District authorities Input suppliers Poor application or use of inputs Incorrect application/use of inputs: Majority of smallholder farmers cannot use/apply inputs correctly even if they know the importance of inputs use due to inadequate technical knowledge of farmers as well as agro dealers Poor fertilizer recommendation rates (one size fits all) Train farmers on good agricultural practices which includes proper use of inputs especially fertilizer and agrochemicals Train agro-dealers on handling of inputs and technical issues for them to advise farmers when buying inputs from their shops Department of Research in the Ministry of Agriculture need to conduct soil analysis in all the selected irrigation schemes and review the existing fertilizer recommendations for specific locations for better application of fertilizer Government of Tanzania District authorities Non Governmental Organisations 48
