| Integrated Pest Management |
| Since 1992 the FRG has been supporting the
United Republic of Tanzania in developing and
implementing Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
in agriculture. In Shinyanga region and from 1998
in Arusha and Kilimanjaro Region plant protection
problems were identified and options for solutions
were elaborated together with farmers and in cooperation
with researchers. The IPM approach
developed is now being promoted to the local
government (districts). At national level the support
concentrates on the enforcement of regulations to
the Plant Protection Act (1997) and on
strengthening the service delivery capacity of PHS
in the decentralised government. Focus is given to
organizational development, co-operation with
agricultural research institutions and extension
services, to human resources development and
management.

| National Coconut Development Programme |
| The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) is often
referred to as the “Tree of Life” because of its
multi-purpose uses. In Tanzania, the coconut is an
important perennial cash and subsistence oil crop
that supports the livelihood of many farmers in the
coastal areas, providing food shelter, and
employment opportunity. The coconut palm, as an
important agro-forestry crop, plays a significant
role in protecting the fragile ecosystem of the coastal belt. During the 1970’s it became apparent
that the productivity of the crop was low and
declining due to a number of production
constraints. These included: presence of serious
pests and diseases, poor crop husbandry practices
as a result of inadequate extension services to
growers, lack of improved planting materials,
presence of sub-optimal climatic conditions as well
as lack of institutional set-up to promote/support
coconut research and development (R&D)
activities. Cognizant of the economic importance of the crop the Government of Tanzania initiated the National Coconut Development Programme
(NCDP) in 1979/80 with financial and technical
assistance from the Federal Republic of Germany
(FRG) and a loan from the International
Development Association (IDA) with the objective
to revive the coconut industry through various R&D
activities. |

| Tanzania Agricultural Commodity Warehouse Receipt System |
| The Coffee Marketing Development and Trade Promotion and Improvement of Cotton Marketing and Trade System in Eastern and Southern Africa, are two projects that are implemented together under the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Marketing. The inauguration workshop for the two projects was done in September 2000 in Arusha and the project activities started immediately. The project agreements that were signed between the then Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) agreed to implement the warehouse receipt system in Tanzania as a pilot country and use two main cash crops (Coffee and Cotton) as pilot crops for a period of 36 months. |
