“In this financial year, the government has allocated a huge amount of money for the construction of irrigation schemes in 22 large basins aimed at helping Tanzanians engage in irrigation farming,” said the Deputy Minister for Agriculture Mr Anthony Mavunde during the Tanzania and India Private Sector Foundation (TPSF) business roundtable on agriculture sector held in Dar es Salaam at the weekend. “We want our country to be self-sufficient in the production of quality seeds through the Agricultural Seed Agency (ASA) together with other agricultural stakeholders inside and outside the country,” he said. “This cooperation in agricultural issues between these two countries means that Tanzania will be a leading country in the agriculture sector,” said Mr. Binaya.
