Steel maker, Kamal Group Chairman, Gagan Gupta said in Dar es Salaam mid this week that the hire purchase arrangement will, initially, benefit 100 Tanzanian entrepreneurs who want to make a fortune out of cashew nuts processing.

Gupta said in supporting government plans to industrialise the economy, his steel making conglomerate has borrowed a leaf from India where the bulk of the kernels are processed by smallholder entrepreneurs.

"It's like going to a university to study for a degree course where you also pay school fees but in this case, apart from learning the cashew processing trade, you also earn profit," he said adding that the 16.92m/- which is an equivalent of 20 percent of actual cost of the processing plant.

He said the remaining 67.68m/- will be provided by a bank at modest interest rate with a three year repayment period. “In return, each of them will be able to make up to 37.8m/- each year in profits from the cashew nut processing business after deducting all operational costs,” he said...read more on https://epaper.ippmedia.com

TPA: Cargo ships arrivals normal after brief decline
THE outbreak of COVID-19 in the world resulted in reduced traffic of cargo vessels at the port of Dar es Salaam to four or five ships per day, the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) has highlighted.

“The pandemic outbreak slightly affected performance at the port as we received fewer cargo ships. The situation has now normalized as we are receiving 12 to 15 vessels daily,” said the TPA Director General, Deusdedit Kakoko in a press conference yesterday.

“We had no choice because the country had to impose various containment measures as well as ensuring adherence to protocols of hygiene. Revenue collections dropped slightly compared to the amount collected during the 2018/2019 fiscal year,” he stated.

Ongoing infrastructure development at the Dar es Salaam port, including the deepening of existing berths 1 to7 to 14.5 meters is meant to increase efficiency and make it the leading port in East and Central Africa, he asserted.

The project which cost 337bn/- is now at 90 percent completion pace, with berth no. 1 already operating and capable of accommodating large cargo vessels of over 50,000 tonnes and measuring 300 meters wide, he pointed out.

Other berths will be completed within three months, he said, noting that this will improve the port that was previously capable of offloading 500 motor vehicles per day, but with current improvements, over 1,000 vehicles can be offloaded at present.

“Completion of the expansion project will see the port handling vessels carrying more than 6,000 containers in total,” he affirmed.

Plans are underway for commencement of a project to widen and deepen the port entrance channel to 15meters and up to 19 meters deep, with the work scheduled to commence next month or in March, he said.

Efforts are also being directed to improve port facilities in Tanga, Mtwara and Bagamoyo, where at Tanga port the contractor has already started working to widen and deepen the entrance channel. Infrastructure development at Mtwara port aims shall enhance service provision and improve cargo handling for Malawi, he further stated.

Anything up to 90 percent of the country’s international trade transactions transit through the Dar es Salaam port with a large portion of the cargo intended for landlocked neighbours of Malawi, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda.

Burundi depends on the port for its international cargo by 99.2 percent while Rwanda uses the port to transport 86 percent of its cargo, he explained.

Despite competition from other ports such as Beira port in Mozambique, Durban in South Africa and Mombasa in Kenya, Dar es Salaam port continues to attract a good number of general cargo vessels due to enhanced marketing strategies, the CEO noted....read more on https://epaper.ippmedia.com

Kenya recorded the highest internet penetration rate in Africa in the year 2020. This is according to a ranking by Internet World Stats (IWS), showing that 87.2 percent of the country’s population was connected to the internet.
Figures from the Communication Authority (CA) indicate that in quarter one of 2020/2021 financial year (July to Sept 2020), the country recorded 43.45 million internet/data subscriptions, an increase of 4.8 percent from the previous quarter.

The regulator attributes this growth to the internet connectivity demand necessitated by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, which forced many Kenyans to work and undertake studies from home.
“As at the end of the first quarter of 2020/21 financial year, the Internet/data market experienced positive growth with rising dependence on digital platforms for work, learning, healthcare, shopping and entertainment,” said CA.

The uptake of internet usage in Kenya, CA reports, is expected to continue "evolving rapidly" with increasing innovation in tech, availability of more affordable smartphones in the market and enhanced connectivity (3G, 4G) in the country.
“Going digital is now more important than ever with the Covid-19 pandemic changing how we live, work and interact with one another. The uptake of mobile services is expected to rise with the presence of affordable smartphones in the country,” the telecommunications industry regulator said.
The IWS ranking shows Libya had the second highest internet penetration in 2020 with 74.2 percent while Seychelles came in third with 72.5 percent penetration. Nigeria remains the top country in terms of the total number of internet users with over 126 million internet users—her internet penetration rate however, stood at 61.2 percent.

Regionally, internet penetration rate stood at 46.2 percent for Rwanda, 40.4 percent for Uganda, 38.7 percent for Tanzania, 17.8 percent for Ethiopia,10.7 percent for Somalia and 9.7 percent for Burundi.
Western Sahara had the least internet penetration with a rate of 4.7 percent. South Sudan was the second last country with 7.9 percent penetration, while the northeast African nation Eritrea followed with 8.3 percent penetration for her estimated population of 3.5 million people.
The entire continent of Africa, with an estimated population of 1.3 billion people, registered a penetration rate of 47.1 percent according to IWS.
Internet penetration rate is the percentage of the total population in a region that is connected to the internet.
