government has invited local and foreign investors

The government has invited local and foreign investors to invest in sugar production as Tanzania needs 260,000 tonnes of sugar, including 155,000 tonnes of industrial sugar to get foreign currency. Deputy Minister for Agriculture said this during his one-day visit to TPC Sugar Company, where he also inspected the production of sugar and was made aware of the challenges facing the company. We need 105,000 tonnes of sugar for domestic consumption and 155,000 tonnes of industrial sugar. We have enough land in Rufiji about 160,000 hectares. We have good land in Musoma and Malagarasi in Kigoma and other regions that can be used in production.
