DAR ES SALAAM, March 7 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Most Tanzanians have experienced hunger in the past three months, with food shortages most severe in drought-hit rural areas, a countrywide survey found, despite government denials of a food crisis.
The survey by Tanzanian think tank Twaweza found that 78 percent of people had suffered food shortages in the past three months. In rural areas the figure rose to 84 percent compared to 64 percent in cities.
The findings came despite repeated government denials that the East African country was suffering food shortages. President John Magufuli has accused opposition politicians of fomenting a “fake” hunger crisis.
The Twaweza survey said in a country where 80 percent of the population rely on subsistence farming, some families have begun skipping meals.
In February, 65 percent of respondents had worried about their families not having enough to eat in the previous seven days, compared to 45 percent last September.
The research, part of polling platform Sauti za Wananchi—Africa’s first national survey of its kind, shows a sharp decline in food availability among families in the past three months.
“The current shortages and ongoing food insecurity underline the context of general vulnerability and income poverty,” researchers said.
Drought in East Africa has sent prices of staples such as maize and sorghum soaring, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said last month.
According to Bank of Tanzania data, the wholesale price of maize, a staple crop has doubled in the past 2 years from 400 Tanzanian shillings in 2015 to 1,253 ($0.60) per kilo in 2017.
Michael Dunford, head of the World Food Programme (WFP) in Tanzania said the U.N. agency is concerned about food insecurity in Tanzania and is monitoring the situation.
“There are pockets of food insecurity in the country. More information will be apparent in the next season,” Dunford said.
He said a recent government assessment identified more than a million people in 55 districts facing acute food insecurity between now and April 2017, before the next harvest in May.
Those in need of urgent food assistance are estimated at over 118,000.
However, Tanzania’s agriculture minister for Charles Tizeba said the situation is manageable.
“We are generally satisfied by various efforts taken to bring this situation under control,” he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

So you only want to see people investing in your nation and you dont benefit from from those investment. Thats why you are a failed state and a broke gvtKenya ranks high in attracting foreign direct investment By Orido George | Published Thu, July 3rd 2014 at 00:00, Updated July 2nd 2014 at 22:49 GMT +3 SHARE THIS ARTICLE Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Kenya ranks among the leading Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) destinations in Africa, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Secretary General Mukhisa Kituyi has said. Dr Kituyi said Nigeria and Ethiopia complete the list of the most attractive investments destinations for foreign capital on the continent. Launching the World Investment Report 2014 in Nairobi, Dr Kituyi lauded the increasing FDI movement among African States. "Kenya remains the single most highest Foreign Direct Investor in Uganda and second in Tanzania, said Dr Kituyi. The report indicates that in East Africa, FDI flows surged by 15 per cent to $6.2 billion (Sh540 billion), driven by rising flows to Kenya and Ethiopia. Kenya is developing as the favoured business hub, not only for oil and gas exploration in the sub-region but also for industrial production and transport. FDI inflows to Africa rose by four per cent to $57 billion (Sh5.002 trillion, driven by international and regional market seeking flows and infrastructure investments. The report notes that intra-regional investments are increasingly led by South African, Kenyan and Nigerian companies.They include the Dangote and Simba Groups of Nigeria which are active in the cement, agriculture and oil-refining industries. Others are Orascom (Egypt) that is active in the building materials and chemicals industries - investing in North African countries while Sameer Group of Kenya is involved in industries that include agriculture, manufacturing, distribution, high-tech, construction, transport and finance. The Comcraft Group, also from Kenya, is active in the services sector and is extending its footprint beyond the continent into Asian markets. Ethiopia's industrial strategy is attracting Asian capitals to develop its manufacturing base. In 2013, Huanjin Group of China opened its first factory for shoe production, with a view to establishing a $2 billion (Sh176 billion) hub for light manufacturing. Early in the year, Julphar from United Arab Emirates, in conjunction with its local partner, Medtech, officially inaugurated its first pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Addis Ababa. According to the report, Uganda, Tanzania and Madagascar maintained relatively high inward flows, thanks to the development of their gas and mineral sectors. FDI flows to Southern Africa almost doubled last year, jumping to $13.2 billion from $6.7 billion in 2012, mainly owing to record-high flows to South Africa and Mozambique. UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon described the report as valuable. Kituyi urged African governments to insist on globally accepted standards when it comes to signing deals with FDIs so as to cushion local communities from exploitation.

Kenya is a terrorist country, Kenyans are terrorists that's why Tanzania refused to allow Kenyans to enter by using ID. South Africa refused to remove visa for Kenyans despite South Africans go to Kenya without visas.
Hunger is very short lasting, how can you bring story of hunger from 2012, does it mean that because Kenya is starving now, that will last for the next ten years?why are you hurt hunger in ngororo is realView attachment 707732
