Key Stats About Agro Product Exports from Tanzania to Europe

As Paradise Exim Limited, a Tanzanian based agro-product exporter, our company’s role in the EU agri-food trade landscape is both significant and promising. According to recent data,

“Tanzania’s agricultural sector contributes 25.9% to its GDP and employs 65.1% of the population”

highlighting the sector’s critical role in the national economy.
Our products, which benefit from Tanzania’s vast arable land and favorable crop production indices, have a robust export potential.

“In 2023, Tanzania’s exports to the EU amounted to €177 million”

, reflecting a 9.2% increase from the previous year. This growth signifies the rising demand for Tanzanian agro products in the European market. Despite this positive trend,

Tanzania’s imports from the EU are significantly higher at €384 million, resulting in a trade deficit of €207 million.

This imbalance underscores the need for Agro Product exporters in Tanzania to enhance their export capacity and diversify its product offerings to bridge this gap.

Tanzania is currently ranked 94th among the EU’s top agri-food trade partners,

with the United Kingdom being our most significant destination, followed by the USA and China. To further capitalize on these markets, agro product suppliers aim to leverage Tanzania’s strong crop and food production indices, which stand at 101.3 and 101.0 respectively, to enhance the quality and competitiveness of our exports.

By focusing on sustainable agricultural practices and exploring new market opportunities within the EU, Paradise Exim Limited is well positioned to contribute to the growth of Tanzania’s agri-food trade and strengthen our presence on the global stage. Paradise Exim Limited is keenly aware of the dynamics in the EU-Tanzania agri-food trade. Our primary exports to Europe include raw cashew nuts, soya beans, sesame seeds, red kidney beans, chickpeas, pigeon peas, raw coffee beans, etc. These products are not only critical to our business but also play a significant role in Tanzania’s agricultural export profile.

Latest data on EU agri-food trade

The latest data on EU agri-food trade with Tanzania highlights the importance of diversifying our export portfolio.

In 2023, cereals constituted the largest share of EU agri-food exports to Tanzania, amounting to €80 million or 45% of the total exports.

This significant influx of cereals underscores the necessity for Tanzania to balance its import-export ratio by bolstering its own export capabilities.

Our export activities have been particularly focused on high-demand products such as soya beans and sesame seeds. Soya beans are currently being shipped extensively to meet the rising demand in Europe for plant-based protein sources. Similarly, sesame seeds, known for their versatile applications in culinary and industrial uses, are another key product we are actively exporting.

Red kidney beans and coffee beans are also central to our export strategy. Red kidney beans are a staple in many European diets, appreciated for their nutritional benefits. Our raw coffee beans, renowned for their quality and flavor, continue to be a sought-after commodity in the European market, contributing significantly to our export revenues.

Despite the encouraging trends, we recognize the challenges posed by the current trade balance.

Tanzania imported €384 million worth of agri-food products from the EU, resulting in a trade deficit of €207 million.

This trade imbalance highlights the critical need for us to enhance our production capacities and explore new markets within the EU to ensure sustainable growth.

The evolution of EU agri-food exports to Tanzania from 2019 to 2023 also provides valuable insights for our strategic planning.

As we continue to expand our footprint in the European market, our focus will remain on maintaining the highest standards of quality and sustainability. By leveraging Tanzania’s favorable agricultural conditions and investing in modern farming techniques, Paradise Exim Limited aims to strengthen its position as a key player in the global agri-food trade, contributing to Tanzania’s economic growth and food security.
