Abstract
Globally, maize markets in early 2026 are characterized by abundant supply, driven by high production levels in major producers such as the United States and Brazil. Despite a gradual increase in demand, large stock levels have kept international prices relatively low and stable. In Tanzania, maize production remains strong following a record harvest in 2024, although regional price differences persist due to challenges in aggregation and logistics. Export markets are dominated by neighboring countries, particularly Uganda and Kenya.
Overall, the report highlights opportunities for investment in value chain development, particularly in improving productivity, processing efficiency, and market systems to enhance food security and reduce import dependence in Tanzania.
