Agriculture & Agro-Processing

About Agriculture & Agro-Processing

Agriculture is the backbone of Tanzania's economy, contributing approximately 26.5% to national GDP and employing over 60% of the population. The Joseph Kusaga Consortium is committed to transforming this vital sector through innovative information platforms, technology-driven solutions, and farmer-focused media initiatives that improve productivity, market access, and value addition across agricultural value chains. Tanzania possesses approximately 44 million hectares of arable land, with vast potential for irrigation development. The country is recognized as one of Africa's leading agricultural nations, playing an important role as a regional food basket, particularly in rice production where self-sufficiency has been achieved. The Joseph Kusaga Consortium is dedicated to driving agricultural transformation through: • Information & Education Platforms - Delivering practical agricultural knowledge, market insights, and technology updates to farmers across Tanzania. • Technology-Driven Solutions - Supporting the adoption of modern farming techniques including precision irrigation, greenhouse farming, and organic fertilizers. • Value Addition - Promoting agro-processing activities that transform raw materials into finished products. • Empowering Smallholder Farmers - Strengthening the position of smallholder farmers to benefit from high-value agricultural markets. • Youth & Women Inclusion - Supporting initiatives that encourage young people and women to participate in commercial farming as "agripreneurs."
