    CAGE FISH FARMING FACT SHEET
    (2025-09-22) TADB
    This factsheet presents a policy and investor-oriented overview of cage fish farming opportunities and financing options in Tanzania’s major inland lakes. Drawing from the Investment Case Study for Cage Fish Farming (TADB, 2025), it summarizes market trends, production performance, value-chain gaps, and key investment drivers, including the rising demand for fish protein and export growth in the Great Lakes region. The document outlines productivity benchmarks, risk factors, and a suite of tailored financing models, ranging from aquaculture-aligned term lending and blended finance to public–private partnerships, community group lending, and a cluster-based cooperative (FICO) model designed to de-risk smallholder participation. By combining technical data with actionable financing pathways, the factsheet serves as a practical reference for policymakers, investors, and development partners seeking to scale sustainable aquaculture and strengthen food security in Tanzania.

    This factsheet provides a strategic overview of the cocoa value chain in Tanzania, highlighting its production systems, export performance, investment opportunities, and financing models.

The document outlines key production regions, harvesting calendars, and post-harvest practices while identifying systemic constraints such as limited access to inputs, low adoption of improved technologies, and inadequate processing capacity. Export trends show growing international interest, especially in organic and specialty markets, presenting a strong case for investment in certification schemes and value addition. The factsheet concludes with actionable financing models suitable for smallholder farmers, cooperatives, and agro-processors, aligning with national agricultural development goals and sustainable financing principles.

    THE AGRO BRIEF SERIES 2
    (TADB, 2025-07-31) TADB
    This AgroBrief provides a concise overview of the global and local market trends for cashew nuts and dairy products as of July 2025. It highlights significant developments in the cashew industry, including a continued rise in global raw cashew nut (RCN) prices, driven by strong demand from major processors in Vietnam and India, alongside limited global stock levels. Tanzania experienced a successful 2024/25 auction season with record-high prices and over 95% of the harvest exported. Attention is now shifting to the upcoming 2025/26 season, with government plans to sustain auction systems and improve productivity through quality inputs. On the dairy side, global prices faced mild downward pressure due to increased production and uncertain demand, especially from China. In Tanzania, persistent challenges in milk production and high input costs have kept local milk prices high, with domestic supply meeting less than 40% of national demand. Despite growing demand and ongoing efforts to enhance the sector, processors remain constrained by inconsistent raw milk supply. The bulletin underscores the need for sustained investment and policy support to strengthen both the cashew and dairy sectors in Tanzania.
