Project funding sources

Pia wadau kuna Fund for Empowerment Rural Area, ambayo imetolewa na Baraza la Uwezeshaji Tanzania, (NEEC). Kwamaelezo zaidi tembelea tovuti ya Neec.
 
Tema mate! Ulipokuwa na shida ulipata muda wa kufika JF lakini kwa sasa eti uko busy!. Maisha siyo ya kuendesha kwa staili hiyo! Kilichowezekana Rufiji hata Kigoma kinawezekana na wadau wamo humo Jf!
Hahahahaaaa! Dah! Alivyoanza mlikua wote, mkimshauri hatua kwa hatua...!
 
Wadau heshima kwenu.

Naomba yeyote mwenye proposal au business plan ya kilimo cha mihogo. Tafadhali sana
 
Yah tayari nina ardhi ya kuweka factory yenyewe, natafuta ardhi zaidi ya kulima mihogo kwa ajili ya back up plan in case wakulima wameamua kula mihogo yao.

Interest kubwa ni kununua kwa wakulima wadogo na sio kulima nanunua mazao kwa wazalishaji ili kuinua uchumi wao then naprocess kuzalisha starch ambayo itakuwa exported.

Mbegu na mazao tutaweka ushirikiano na wataalamu wa kilimo na tayri tumestudy na kuona product za kuanzia na mahali pa kupata mbegu. Hii itakuwa ni pamoja na kupromote kilimo kwa kuwasaidia wazalishaji kwa maeneo mbalimbali.

Nilifikiria kuanza na small scale lakini nikaona technology iliyopo sokoni kwa sasa haina mitambo midogo sana ya kuzalisha na iliyopo ina zalisha 1ton/hour ambayo ni almost 4 tons of cassava/potato u can imagine kama unaweza kufeed factory mwenyewe

Kuhusu manpower sio tatizo sana kwani inaweza kuendeshwa na mtu mwenye vocational training na suppliers wa mitambo huwa wanakuja nayo na technicians wawili ambao watakaa miezi sita kufundisha trouble shooting na service zote including uzalishaji, ninataka wakija niweze kuwaconvince kubaki nao kwa kuwaongezea benefits kidogo kwani tayari ninajua wanalipwa kiasi gani? So as to ensure quality of products kwani nataka TBS, SABS na ISO certification za standards na kumaintain muda wote

Matatizo yanayohusiana na mradi kwa sehemu kubwa nimeshayafanyia utafiti na tayari nimeya-document kiasi ambacho yoyote akiyasoma ataelewa vizuri tu

Kuhusu kulima mie kama mtanzania niliyeishi kijijini nimekuwa katika level hiyo najua unaielewa kwa mkulima mtanzania subsistance so sio kwa commercial level mkuu

Nimefanyia hii project study ya 3 years kwenye maeneo muhimu nafikiri kama yapo labda nime-overlook tu lakini sehemu kubwa nimeishughulikia baba! Mwanzoni nilitaka kufanya kama academic paper tu baadaye nikasema kwa nini nisithubutu kusaidia wakulima wadogo (badala ya kuchukulia degree) hasa wale waliotegemea pamba ambayo soko lake limepororomka sasa wana shida na yale maeneo ya kanda ya kati ambayo haya zao la biashara kwa miaka mingi.

Starch production ni kubwa sana nafikiri Thailand inaongoza duniani kuuza Ulaya na Marekani kwa Africa Nigeria ipo juu na nchi zingine zinaagiza nje zote kwa nini tusitumie nafasi hiyo mkuu?,

sijui kama nimejibu vizuri mkuu wangu

Thanx
A far outstanding reply,best comeback ever.
Inatia moyo,ulifanikiwa mkuu ....!!??

Kumbuka mpe asiyekupa maana ukimpa aliyekupa hujampa bali utakuwa umemlipa.

DAR ES SALAAM (TANZANIA) & LOS ANGELES (CALIFORNIA) (PRWEB) MAY 19, 2016

Dar Es Salaam (Tanzania) & Los Angeles (California) - The FJS African Starch Development Company, Ltd., announced today that a Grant Agreement was signed with the United Nations Capital Development Fund. The UNCDF is formally supporting the efforts of the Company to install an additional production line which will be dedicated to producing cassava flour for the Tanzanian domestic consumer market. FJS African Starch Development Company is embarking on a short-term diversification strategy by adding an additional production line which will be dedicated to producing cassava flour for the domestic consumer market.

“We are delighted that UNCDF is supporting our project and the work of the farmers associated with our project. We are also grateful that TIB Development Bank has been patient in continuing to support our work” said Ibrahim Hape, President and CEO of FJS African Starch Development. “We also want to acknowledge the Scheer Foundation that believed in us from the start, initiated and funded the construction and launch of our project” added Mr. Hape.

UNCDF Intervention
Following suggestions from UNCDF expert advice, FJS African Starch Development Company, Ltd has decided to embark on a short term diversification strategy by adding an additional production line which will be dedicated to producing cassava flour for the domestic consumer market. The total cost of the project is estimated at USD 387,000. UNCDF is providing technical assistance and USD 225,000 in seed capital to support the company’s efforts to install the additional production line. The funds will be used for working capital and purchasing the new machinery required for producing cassava flour, which in turn will help to support food security, jobs creation, farmers’ steady revenue and improvement of their livelihood.
The company is expected to receive its new machines in June 2016 and will commence productions immediately after.
Revenue streams from the new cassava flour line will provide liquidity to cover operational costs, service debt, working capital, and capital expenditure requirements. Successful implementation of the short term strategy will attract equity investors interested in starch production which has massive export potential.

The UNCDF Chief Technical Advisor, Peter Malika said that, “the project is a demonstration of how technology and innovation through a combination of large scale farming and community out-grower can add value and transform economic and social parameters of poor farmers. The project assists small scale farmers to attain horizontal (size of land/farm) and vertical (yield per acre) expansion due to assurances of a ready market for their raw cassava.” Through an out-grower scheme, African Starch provides employment and income to more than 500 small scale farmers and over 20 medium sized commercial farmers.

Currently only about 30 per cent of uprooted cassava roots end up being sold in the market due to customer requirements (size), and a very limited shelf life for raw cassava once uprooted (24 hours). FJS African Starch Development Company will use flour processing equipment that can be fed old cassava roots, and cassava roots of all sizes.

About UNCDF
UNCDF is the UN’s capital investment agency for the world’s 48 least developed countries (LDCs). With its capital mandate and instruments, UNCDF offers “last mile” finance models that unlock public and private resources, especially at the domestic level, to reduce poverty and support local economic development. This last mile is where available resources for development are scarcest; where market failures are most pronounced; and where benefits from national growth tend to leave people excluded.

UNCDF’s financing models work through two channels: savings-led financial inclusion that expands the opportunities for individuals, households, and small businesses to participate in the local economy, providing them with the tools they need to climb out of poverty and manage their financial lives; and by showing how localized investments -- through fiscal decentralization, innovative municipal finance, and structured project finance -- can drive public and private funding that underpins local economic expansion and sustainable development. UNCDF financing models are applied in thematic areas where addressing barriers to finance at the local level can have a transformational effect for poor and excluded people and communities.

By strengthening how finance works for poor people at the household, small enterprise, and local infrastructure levels, UNCDF contributes to SDG 1 on eradicating poverty with a focus on reaching the last mile and addressing exclusion and inequalities of access. At the same time, UNCDF deploys its capital finance mandate in line with SDG 17 on the means of implementation, to unlock public and private finance for the poor at the local level. By identifying those market segments where innovative financing models can have transformational impact in helping to reach the last mile, UNCDF contributes to a number of different SDGs and currently to 28 of 169 targets.
