The Government has pledged to strengthen cooperation with investors as part of its broader strategy to accelerate economic growth, raise incomes and improve livelihoods across the country.
The Minister of State in the President’s Office for Planning and Investment, Prof. Kitila Mkumbo, made the remarks on February 23, 2026, during an official visit to Morogoro Region, stressing that close collaboration between the public and private sectors is vital to Tanzania’s economic transformation.
During the visit in Matuli Ward, Prof. Mkumbo toured investment projects operated by Eagle Agrotech and a large-scale cereal farm owned by Santagro Limited.
He observed ongoing production of crops such as sunflower, sorghum and maize, as well as the use of modern technologies aimed at increasing productivity and adding value to agricultural output.
The minister said he was encouraged by the pace of investment in both agriculture and industry, describing the sectors as key pillars of Tanzania’s economic reform agenda.
He noted that strengthening these areas is essential for boosting production, creating employment opportunities and supporting sustainable industrialisation.
Prof. Mkumbo said the Government will continue to create an enabling environment for investors by improving infrastructure, simplifying investment procedures and ensuring that policies and development plans focus on increasing productivity, employment and domestic revenue.
He also urged investors to comply with laws and regulations, protect workers’ rights and work closely with surrounding communities to promote inclusive and sustainable development.
He added that stronger cooperation between the Government and the private sector will help Tanzania expand domestic production, reduce reliance on imported goods and increase exports of agricultural and industrial products to regional and international markets.
The visit forms part of ongoing Government efforts to monitor and promote productive investment in strategic sectors, particularly agriculture and industry, in order to drive economic growth and support national development goals.
