DAR ES SALAAM — TANZANIA has great potential to food self-sufficiency, by producing food locally without importing from abroad if the young population is properly involved in the agricultural sector.
Speaking at the launch of the 2024 AYuTe Africa Tanzania Challenge competition in Dar es Salaam yesterday, the Resident Director of Heifer Project International, Mark Tsoxo said that there are more young people in Tanzania and that today's agriculture needs manpower and innovative technology and the available resources can greatly transform the agricultural sector.
"It's not that young people don't like to participate in agriculture, young people like results more than the means to achieve results, so we need creativity to be able to attract young people to agriculture," he said.
