Export and import play a major part in a nation’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product). 

Agriculture is one of the most crucial aspects in the sustenance of humanity. Agricultural products are one of the most exported and imported commodities throughout the world, it is one of the most important sources of attracting foreign currency to the nation. Africa is globally renowned for exporting high quality agricultural products throughout the world. Lentils, tea, coffee, beans, spices etc are some of the major products exported from Africa. Tanzania, a rapidly developing country in Africa is known globally for exporting top quality agro products. 

Agriculture in Tanzania

The Food and Agriculture Association of the United Nations states that 68 percent of Tanzania’s work force engage in farming, both in rural and urban areas. However, 83 percent of all holdings are run by small family farmers who dominate the agricultural sector by contributing around 75 percent of the total agricultural output. Tanzanian farmers put their heart and soul into  farming to produce high quality crops, meeting global standards. 

Good agricultural methods are practised in Tanzania by integrating production methods and food chain approaches to ensure quality and safety of agro products. It is expected to contribute to increased food production, food safety, consumer protection, conservation of natural resources  and increase socio-economic viability of production systems.

Importance of product quality in exporting

Consumers now want to be aware of what they are consuming and how they are produced. Consumers are more informed about quality choices. For example, in the case of a tea powder packet, the consumer wants to know where the tea was cultivated.  Tanzanian agro products have gained global popularity and are widely considered as organic safe to consume products.  This, in turn, develops a sense of harmony and trust among consumers, producers, and brands, thereby fueling the export industry in the long run. Tanzanian government has implemented standards and codes of agriculture export that has resulted in

• Supplementing international regulations. 

• Promotion of Tanzanian agro products

• Easier definition of priorities and needs both for local and export markets

• Wider acceptance by importers. 

Export growth plays a crucial role in overall development, especially by driving economic growth, creating jobs, and providing an important source of foreign exchange. 

WTO (World Trade Organisation) has set standards  to ensure food safety. National governments are concerned about what gets consumed by their citizens, so they also set high quality standards to give clearance to exports.
