INDUSTRIALISTS EXPLAIN HOW TANZANIA EXPORTS CAN GET HIGHER RETURNS


Dar es Salaam. Tanzania’s export values of manufactured goods rose by 12.5 percent in the year that ended on January 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the preceding year, the latest Bank of Tanzania (BoT) report shows.

Manufacturers are optimistic the country has the potential to increase export earnings - should the government speed up improvement of the business environment.

In its Monthly Economic Review, the central bank (BoT) reveals that export of manufactured goods jumped to $913.9 million during the year to January 31, 2021 compared to the $812.4 million recorded during a similar period a year back.

BoT did not explain the reason for the increase. But Bakhresa Group Corporate Affairs director Hussein Sufian said the rise could be attributed to the entrant of new players in the market, especially in the tiles, gypsum board and cement businesses. Also, he added, some of the exporters might have increased their export volumes.

However, Mr Sufian said Bakhresa for its side, had during the period under review recorded a slight decrease in export earnings due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic which affected their markets through lockdowns and travel restrictions.

The Group’s main foreign markets include DRC, Zambia, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda and South Sudan.

“If the business environment is improved, manufacturers will enjoy a competitive advantage - and export more,” noted Mr Sufian.

His sentiments were echoed by G&B Soap chief executive officer Godliving Makundi, saying exporters had a potential to do better if the government would address the challenges they are grappling with.

Mr Makundi, the owner of the company which deals with production of soap and cooking oil, said 25 percent import duty on raw materials for cooking oil was too high, discourage local production for exports.

Manufacturers in Tanzania were at a disadvantage compared to those from countries like Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda, whose raw materials imports were zero rated. “We stopped producing products locally for export since the introduction of new tax rates about four years ago where we were paying 10 percent for raw materials and 25 percent for finished products,” he said.

Blame him not me, he said theres no corona. God works in mysterious ways
Ujinga wako na small mentality visikufanye uwachukie watu wengine bila sababu. Magu na serikali walipokuwa wakisema hakuna corona ni wakati ule first wave (ya 2020) imekwisha kwetu.

Second wave tangu iingie Jan mwaka huu Magu alikuwa wa kwanza kusema "kuna watu wameenda kuchanjwa nje wamekuja na corona ya ajabu". Hivyo ni wendawazimu kuendelea kupayuka kuwa alisema hakuna corona.

Wewe na wajinga wenzio mnasema hivyo kila siku inabidi muwe mnaangalia timing za kauli za viongozi. Akisema leo kuwa corona haipo usiitumie hiyo kauli kuijadili kesho.

Sipendagi kabisa kukaa forum/thread moja na watu wavivu wa kufikiri. Shame on you.
 
Inaonekana kipande cha Tabora Kigoma bado hakijafanyiwa ukarabati na kuchomelewa reli.
Wazungu wanafanya kazi nzuri kuonyesha mapungufu ya Tanzania. Jana mmoja alionyesha jinsi mnafinyana kwenye mabasi kama nyumbu. Leo mwingine anaonyesha jinsi train zenu zina upungufu.
