Since 1970, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has provided nationwide support to Tanzania through both soft and hard assistance schemes under two major programs. These initiatives have focused on improving productivity, commercialization, and industrialization in the agriculture sector, including fisheries and livestock, in alignment with the country’s development priorities, thereby contributing to economic growth and the social development of Tanzania.

Happy Nane Nane to all the hardworking farmers of Tanzania!

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) recognizes and appreciates the dedication of farmers and the vital role they play in feeding the nation and building a more sustainable future. We are proud to work alongside farmers and the Government of Tanzania to support agricultural development and promote co-created innovative solutions that empower farming communities.

JICA remains committed to strengthening its support for Tanzania’s agricultural sector by enhancing productivity, improving livelihoods, and developing human resources, guided by the spirit of partnership and shared growth.

Agriculture is a key sector for achieving the goals of Tanzania Vision 2050 and driving the country’s future economic growth. At the same time, the sector faces various challenges, including climate change and food insecurity.
