i. Private sector participation, policy and business enabling environment in Post Harvest Management.

CACAO REGIONS IN TANZANIA

 CACAO REGIONS IN TANZANIA.

In Tanzania, cacao can be grown in the regions such as Mbeya, Morogoro, Kigoma, Katavi, Tabora, Tanga, Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Pwani, Iringa, Njombe, Ruvuma, Mtwara, Geita, and Kagera.




Cacao is a tropical cash crop, which grows and can be grown in many regions as mentioned above, dedicated Tanzanian farmers are currently highly encouraged to plant cacao trees in their mini farms and plantations for the sake of feeding the rising Cacao and Chocolate industries inside the country and some seeds for exportation to European Cacao and Chocolate industries.


Farmers who wish to plant cacao must adopt organic practices, which prove to be the best, cheap in terms of cost (affordable), healthy and sustain the present and the future generations.


This blog will always provide useful information about cacao farming hints.
