The Nanenane 2026 Exhibition at the Mwalimu Nyerere grounds in Morogoro is in full swing. Amid the hum of machinery and the buzz of agricultural stakeholders, the Sugar Board of Tanzania (SBT) pavilion has emerged as a focal point, showcasing a modernized sector poised to end decades of import dependency.
The pavilion’s prominence was further highlighted by the Prime Minister’s visit, Dr Mwigulu Nchemba, who inspected cutting-edge agricultural technologies, including the DJI AGRAS T50 drone used for precision irrigation and fertilizer application.
The PM also reviewed the entire sugar value chain from modern seed development and field preparation to advanced storage and processing techniques.
“The adoption of drone technology must be prioritized to scale up sugarcane production and ensure national sugar security. This technology simplifies farming and is a key driver in attracting the youth to the sector,” Dr Nchemba noted.
