Dodoma. The Cereals and Other Produce Regulatory Authority (Copra) has warned grain and other produce farmers against entering into farming contracts with unregistered institutions or agricultural stakeholders, noting that such arrangements cause farmers to incur heavy losses by selling produce at throwaway prices.
Copra said farmers participating in contract farming should earn at least 80 percent of prevailing market crop prices, yet many fall short owing to signing agreements without verifying the registration and legality of the partner institutions involved.
The warning was issued on Monday, August 3, 2026, by Copra’s contract farming coordinator, Ms Rehema Msauge, during a contract farming training in Dodoma.
