Tanzania is strengthening its position as a regional agricultural hub through expanded cooperation with South Sudan targeting agricultural production, trade and food security.
The two countries have agreed to deepen agricultural cooperation and expand regional trade, building on Tanzania’s growing capabilities in agricultural research, irrigation, mechanisation, cooperative development and agro-processing.
The partnership opens opportunities around key food crops including maize, rice, millet and beans, connecting Tanzania’s agricultural transformation with wider regional markets.
The development follows the 2026 Nane Nane International Agricultural Exhibition in Dodoma, where modern farming technologies, mechanisation, investment and agricultural value-chain development were showcased.
For Tanzania, stronger regional agricultural partnerships could help translate increased farm productivity into larger markets, new investment opportunities and more resilient food systems across East Africa.
