Commercial farming 1 25 Commercial farming deals for paddy and sugarcane Smallholder aggregation 2 3 78 Professionally managed collective rice irrigation and marketing schemes 275 Collective warehouse based marketing schemes COWABAMA 1

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

1 25 commercial farming deals for paddy and sugar have been identified Pilot sites Districts identified for commercial paddy and sugarcane Kagera A H Mwanza Mara Arusha Shinyanga Kilimanjaro C Kigoma Manyara Tabora B Tanga I Dodoma Zanzibar Singida F Rukwa Dar Es Morogoro J Iringa Salaam Pwani Mbeya E D K Ruvuma Lindi G Mtwara District A Karagwe B Kasulu C Kibondo D Kilombero E Ludewa F Morogoro G Mtwara H Musoma I Pangani J Rufiji K Ulanga Site No Site Crop Land size of nucleus farm Land size of smallholder 1 Kitengule Sugarcane 16,000 2,000 2 Kasulu Sugarcane 20,000 2,000 3 Kumsenga/Kibwie Sugarcane 20,000 5,000 4 Kiberege Sugarcane 20,000 10,000 5 Kihansi, Paddy 5,200 8,000 6 Mpanga-Ngalimila Paddy 5,128 16,203 7 Ruipa Sugarcane 13,000 6,500 8 Kisegese Paddy 10,000 15,188 9 Manda Sugarcane 20,000 5,000 10 Kisaki Sugarcane 20,000 10,000 11 Mkulazi Sugarcane 50,000 25,000 12 Mkulazi Sugarcane 50,000 25,000 13 Mvuha Sugarcane 20,000 10,000 14 Mahurungu Sugarcane 3,000 2,000 15 Ikongo Sugarcane 12,000 3,000 16 Pangani Sugarcane 3,200 1,200 17 Lukulilo Paddy 8,000 4,000 18 Mkongo Sugarcane 22,000 7,000 19 Muhoro Sugarcane 20,000 16,000 20 Rufiji Delta Paddy 5,000 13,500 21 Tawi/Utunge Sugarcane 20,000 5,000 22 Itete Paddy 10,000 30,000 23 Kilosa kwa mpepo Paddy 5,000 18,000 24 Misegese Paddy 5,000 15,000 25 Ngohelanga Paddy 6,000 15,000 1 Bagomoyo site not included in list as deal is close to being complete 4

1 However, there are a number of bottlenecks in the pipeline and most sites are stuck due to issues with acquiring land title The deal pipeline 1 2 3 6 7 8 11 12 13 17 18 19 22 23 24 Only Mukulazi site has land title 15 B 1 Begin farming 4 9 14 20 25 5 10 16 21 Acquire land title Environmental impact assessment Build infrastructure Engage outgrowers Obtain permits (e.g water permit, business license) Obtain agreements (e.g. PPA, implementation agreement) 1 Bagomoyo site not included in list of 25 sites as deal is close to being complete, but investors are currently being held back due to issues relating to agreements 5

1 Access to land and an enabling business environment are needed to ensure investments into 25 sites Action Description Result i Create a Special Lands and Infrastructure Task Force A temporary cross-agency team to accelerate securing land title, building infrastructure and conducting agro-ecological studies for 25 land parcels 25 sites ready for investment CCROs for smallholders ii Conduct community engagement Conduct pre engagement training to educate communities on business, good agriculture practices and farmer organization Communities ready for engagement with investors iii Develop standard tender assessment criteria and Term Sheet Create standard meritocracy assessment criteria to award sites to investors Create prototype Term Sheet including investment incentive package, terms and conditions and KPIs 25 high quality commercial agriculture investors iv Uplift mandate of TIC and Investor Complain Bureau Dedicated unit within TIC responsible for attracting investors, coordinating applications, addressing complains and monitoring compliance Efficient one stop center for investors, and avenue to address investor issues Together with selected interventions ensuring availability of rice seed and developing industry associations we believe that 25 deals can be pushed through the pipeline by 2015 6

i The mandate of the Task Force will be to secure titles and build infrastructure and ensure environmental suitability Secure land title Mandate of the Task Force Ensure consistency of boundaries in map of different agencies Conduct community engagement and inform them of development plans Conduct reconnaissance and agriculture survey to identify and demarcate land for investment Gazette area to change status of land from village land to general land Conduct compensation and resettlement Titling of land Build infrastructure Ensure soil and water suitability Determine infrastructure needs and plan for "to farm" infrastructure development (access roads, electricity, bridges) Finalize budget needed for infrastructure development Syndicate infrastructure plans with DPs and determine potential areas for collaboration Tendering process for the construction of infrastructure Oversee construction of infrastructure Conduct soil survey and develop detailed land management plans Establish mechanism (e.g. virtual library) to share relevant soil and water data Model environmental impact based on existing data Generate necessary environment information (SEA and/or IEA) for investment Develop monitoring and reporting mechanism to ensure environmental compliance 8

ii There will be at least 4 visits to each site, prior to investors coming in, to ensure sufficient community engagement Visit no. Purpose of visit Length of visit Team conducting visit 1 2 3 4 Meet with District Council and Village Assembly to inform them of investment plans Reconnaissance survey to confirm availability of land and infrastructure needs Verification of Land Use Plans Community consultant on Customary Certificate of Right of Occupancy Demarcate site and erect beacons Conduct Soil survey Environmental analysis Social analysis Training needs assessment Pre-engagement training on the issues of Environmental sustainability Conducting businesses Farmer organization Good agriculture practices 8 days Subset of Task Force 7 days Subset of Task Force Technical team 14 days Soil survey team Environmental analysis team Social analysis team Training needs team 16 days Consultant team Additional visit to conduct other activities (e.g. compensation and resettlement) will take place as necessary 9

iii A standardized proposal evaluation criteria, Term Sheet and M&E process will be developed to expedite investments Steps with planned changes Description Agency in charge No. of days in step Tender sites for investors to bid on Existing TIC process for advertising and tendering sites for investment will be used for the 25 sites Assess proposals and award tender New set of assessment criteria, in a detailed scorecard including: Company background Economic value of project Level of technical sophistication of project Community involvement plans Provision of smallholder financing Sign Term Sheet and additional incentives Includes detailed sets of responsibilities for both the government (e.g. provide titled land, provide stable policy environment etc.) and the investor (e.g. capital investment, build on farm infrastructure, aid in M&E etc.) Monitoring and evaluation of project Company to submit report every 3 months TIC and MAFC to conduct site survey every 3 months to ensure implementation of project is going according to plan Strict sanctions and penalties for noncompliance TIC TIC TIC, NISC TIC & MAFC 30 days 6 days 4 days Every 3 months New TIC process to tendering and awarding sites, using best practice timeframes 10

iii Drafts of list of target investors, assessment criteria, term sheet, and M&E criteria have been developed in the lab Tender sites for investors to bid on Assess proposals and award tender Sign Term Sheet and additional incentives Monitoring and evaluation of project Screen shots Description Prioritized list of both international and local potential investors to send invitations and notifications of tender announcements to Detailed scorecard to assess applications of potential investors, with weighted scores for each criteria List of responsibilities of both government and investors to be detailed out by relevant agencies and approved by NISC Draft criteria to be assessed in M&E processes, based on assessment scorecard To be finalized by a consultant 11

iii Drafts of the assessment criteria, Term Sheet and M&E have been developed, and will be finalized after syndication with stakeholders Term Sheet example Summary of draft Term Sheet Responsibilities of the government Responsibilities of the investor Facilitate acquisition of tilted land and Land Provide investment capital, including for Equity deal (i.e. Acquire 20% shares in the injecting equity of not less than 30% of project for subsequent sale to the public, and total project cost oversee acquisition by out-growers of a further Develop on-farm infrastructure e.g. 5% shares) irrigation facilities, roads Aid in community engagement. e.g. Create Provide suitable technology, management community awareness; Facilitate conducive and trained manpower environment for compensation and resettlement; Adhere to laws and regulations. e.g. Support EIA for out-grower schemes; Facilitate Pay land rent annually as stipulated; Carry establishment of farmers organizations; Provide out Environmental Impact funds for community engagement Assessment/Strategic Environmental Facilitate the procurement of required Assessment permits/approvals. e.g. Company Registration; Conduct responsible community Residence permits class A & B for a restricted engagement. e.g. Provide community number of staff support to out-grower schemes (inputs, Issue incentives. e.g. Exemption of import extension services, technology transfer); duties during project implementation, corporate Prepare and implement a program for tax exemption, withholding tax on dividends skills transfer/training of Tanzanians; (dependent on merit of project) Abide by all obligations under out-grower Monitor implementation of investor s Business or contract farming Plan Aid in M&E e.g. Provide periodic Provide a stable policy environment, including implementation reports to the government; ensuring transparency on import and export Submit audited final accounts to TIC or permits or market liberalization policies; any other relevant authority Coordinate discussion forums regularly Steps to finalize Term Sheet Send draft term sheet to relevant agencies (TIC, TRA, TPSF, MOF, Agriculture Council of Tanzania, SAGCOT center, RUBADA) Conduct workshop to gather feedback on Term Sheet Modify Term Sheet based on feedback Send Term Sheet to NISC Technical Committee Finalize Term Sheet based on Technical Committee feedback NISC to give final approval on Term Sheet 12

iv Current bodies need to be improved in order to facilitate investments FROM Current mandate A facilitation body that assists investors in necessary applications TO Proposed changes Dedicated unit, overseen by PDB, to receive and take ownership of all applications (forwards them to line ministries and ensures that applications are processed in due time) Tanzania Investment Centre No mandate to grant approvals or oversee applications in line ministries Current 14 day system that automatically grants approval if line ministries do not respond within 14 days is not enforced Unit implements online tracking system with line ministries to show where applications are sitting, relevant person in charge and how long application has been pending Automatically raises issues to Investors Complain Bureau if applications have taken longer than allocated time Raises other complaints e.g. sudden policy changes, to Investors Complain Bureau Investors Complaint Bureau Meets on an ad hoc basis, subject to the Prime Minister s availability No transparency on complaints in the pipeline that needs to be addressed Bureau disciplined to meet monthly Implement online tracking system to show complains that need to be addressed and how long they have been in the pipeline 13

1 The Agriculture Lab already accelerated initiatives to close the Bagamoyo Eco-Energy project Large scale iconic project in Tanzania, with high potential impact At risk because of bureaucracy and Government inefficiency The lab used a pressure cooker to resolve issues Ensured AG Chambers provided immediate feedback on Land lease and Right of Occupancy Negotiated water rights from 5 years to 30 years on behalf of Investor Production of 150,000T of sugar, 11,000cbm ethanol and 32MW electricity 2,300 direct jobs, 10,000 indirect jobs 2,000 outgrowers producing about 300-400tonnes of sugar Part of working group to accelerate Implementation and Shareholder s Agreement Raised issue to the President to increase pressure and awareness 14

1 The development of the rice and sugar industries require increasing the availability of rice seeds, and developing industry associations Issues Lack of good quality rice seeds suitable for Tanzania to meet commercial and smallholder farm targets Private sector players have lack of incentive to produce rice seeds due to seed saving practices Solutions MAFC to engage the Agriculture Seed Agency (ASA) and private seed companies to produce certified seeds Creation of the Rice Seed Sub- Fund under the Input Fund to provide soft loans to rice seed companies Lack of coordination amongst the players in the rice and sugarcane value chain, leading to weak lobbying power and industry representation Work with existing stakeholders (e.g. TARIPA) to facilitate players in the industry to develop rice and sugar associations 15

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

Key issues along the value chain Land and Land and infrastructur infrastructure e Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Little usage of improved/high yielding varieties Many farmers use their own saved seeds (mixed/local varieties) which may not be high yielding Promote use of few selected high yielding seed varieties such as SARO 5. Availability of improved rice seeds can be attained through sensitization e farmers in groups or individual to produce Quality Declared Seeds (QDS) and sell to agro-dealers or direct to farmers in same locality Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives (Agriculture Seed Agency) Farmers (produce Quality Declared Seeds (QDS)) Tanzania Official Seed Certificate Institute (TOSCI) Inadequate usage of mechanisation among smallholder farmers Use of hand hoes by farmers in the schemes in farm operations (cultivation, weeding etc.) Establishment of privately owned mechanization service centres to enable smallholder farmers use tractors/ power tillers District authorities Irrigators Organisation Private sector service provider 49

Key issues along the value chain Land and infrastructure Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Poor or unavailability of storage facilities Warehouses are owned by millers which are tied to processing facilities, i.e. conditions for storage are tied to mandatory processing in the mill. Farmers have no much choice to choose a milling machine once he has stored paddy in the mill (even if the mill has poor quality) Warehouses are owned by villages or Local Government Authorities are not well kept or underutilised Each scheme should have a warehouse and a professional manager Identify and upgrade existing warehouses (200-400 tons capacity) in the selected schemes to practice the Warehouse Receipt System. Lease village warehouses to farmer organizations on long term contracts Establish big warehouses (20,000 Mt) in strategic locations. Preferably in each district to be linked the commodity exchange Promote the use of Warehouse Receipt System Upgrade the existing warehouses to qualify for Tanzania Warehouse Licensing Board licencing Farmers organizations/ Irrigators Organisations Poor processing facilities Most smallholder farmers sell paddy and not rice i.e. no value addition Upgrade the existing processing facilities Encourage private sector and farmer organizations to go for medium to large processing facilities Encourage private sector to construct large scale processing facilities at district level near the big warehouses under PPP or entirely by private sector Government of Tanzania Private Sector Farmers organisations 50

Key issues along the value chain Land and infrastructure Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Poor marketing structure Most of the farmers sell their paddy individually Farmers are selling crop during harvesting period and get lower prices There are few cases of farmer organizations which practice Warehouse Receipt System or collectively The wholesale buyers want to buy rice but farmers want to sell paddy Most farmers lack market information other than from traders Lack of central depository of market data and stocks to help government make informed decision like export ban Lack of linkage to the international market District crop cess is not ploughed back to the agriculture sector Lack of accountability of the authorities The government should consider establishment of a commodity exchange which will give small scale farmers an opportunity to sell their rice globally Construct in each of the big warehouses to be managed by Commodity Exchange and there should be a big processing facility nearby.the sites for the warehouses should be mapped by GPS and allocated by the Local Government Authority Strengthen farmer organizations and build their capacity to become competitive in a market place - introduce collective marketing concept to the farmer organization (associations or co-op) at scheme level Use Warehouse Receipt System as collateral for getting credit from the banks The government using National Food Reserve Agency to consider inclusion of paddy as one of the food security crops to buy Reintroduce Market Development Bureau (MDB) Farmers organizations/ Irrigators Organisations Tanzania Warehouse Licensing Board Local Government Authority Mixed Crop Board National Food Reserve Agency Commodity Exchange 51

Key issues along the value chain Land and infrastructure Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Poor access to crop finance to facilitate farming operations Most farmers cannot access formal credit. As a result they take credit from local sources at very high cost sometimes 200%. They pre sell their crops before harvesting to finance their field operations and other family needs Link farmers through their organizations to financial institutions with affordable terms Farmers organizations/ Irrigators Organisations Financial institutions Unreliable outputs markets Unorganized outputs markets (farmers selling their produce at low prices). This reduces demand for inputs Irrigators Organisation to hire professional management Warehouse Receipt System be promoted in the schemes so that farmers in their organizations are linked with financial institutions (banks, SACCOS etc) for loans while their produce is in the warehouse. This will prevent farmers selling their produce while the crop is still in the field or immediately after harvesting District authorities Tanzania Warehouse Licensing Board Financial institutions Non Governmental Organisations Private Sector 52

Key issues along the value chain Land and infrastructure Extension services Inputs Market Issue Challenges Recommendation Stakeholder Lack of accountability for government officials for underperformance Most government officials misinterpret laws and interfere with market system, e.g. forcing farmers to use Warehouse Receipt System for crops District Commissioners do not allow movement of crops from districts Regional Commissioners imposing and uplifting export ban arbitrarily Government to create good business environment with clear policies in place Government of Tanzania 53

Optional model - Block farming via equity Current Situation Block Farming with Professional management Each farmer has a small plot of different shapes and sizes 200 Farmers with farms close to each other merge their farms to form a BLOCK farm which is managed as a one farm Benefits The benefits of the block farm professionally managed are. THIS IS A WEALTH CREATION MODEL This model is applicable to both small holder and commercial out grower model The farmers still maintain the ownership of their land. Each farmer has a CCRO which s/he uses to buy shares in their new company which will manage the farm. The farmer organization is registered as a company limited by shares. The farmers with farms in the block are the shareholders Farmers are relieved from the hassles of farm activities and they get extra income by employing professional managers The whole block grow one agreed variety with a market value The professional management organizes bulk inputs and the farm operations on GAP, new technologies like SRI are adhered and use of pivotal irrigation. Productivity of paddy 8 tons / ha or ( 30 bags per acre) is assured and farming become COMPETITIVE and production is increased Farmers get more income from the same area of land. Production increase more than 300%. The farmers organization can as well engage effectively with other value chain actors and become more competitive in a market place 116

Block farming model development process Steps The farmers are sensitized to understand the model and voluntarily AGREE to CHANGE (Investing in People and Not things) All the farmers plots are surveyed using GPS and each gets a CCRO. The small scale farmer legally owns his/her farm and is empowered to use it to become rich The farmers with farm plots in one area form a farmer group and agree to AGGREGATE their plots into ONE BLOCK FARM Several farmer groups form a farmer organization which is registered as a Company or a TRUST The farmer organization employs a Professional manager to manage the scheme. The farmer organization/ company under professional management applies for loan from the bank to cover all farm operations The professional manager employs people to perform farm operations. Every hard working person in the village/ scheme gets employment. This means a farmer will be paid to work on his/her own farm Steps cont If there is a labor shortage people can be employed from other villages The produce from the scheme is stored in a WAREHOUSE and marketed collectively The big volumes of paddy/rice gives a scale for the bargaining power of farmers is increased and the prices are competitive; The Scheme warehouses will be be a marketing centre or linked to a commodity exchange The equity in the company is divided among farmers /shareholders according to the number of acres each farmer has in the block The revenue from the sale of rice from the block is divided according to the shares the farmer owns in the company 117
