Tanzania and China are deepening their economic ties with a new agricultural project designed to raise crop yields and strengthen food processing in Morogoro Region.
The joint initiative, led by China Agricultural University and Tanzania's Institute of Rural Development Planning, trains local farmers in advanced maize and soybean production while introducing value chains such as soybean milk processing for school feeding programs.
The partnership is already improving rural livelihoods by increasing household incomes, enhancing child nutrition, and creating small business opportunities in crop processing. Farmers are also gaining access to modern agronomic practices and technologies that boost productivity and reduce poverty.
