Umeshindwa hoja, unaleta viroja.
I will let The Citizen and Bank of Tanzania data speak for me..
Mauzo ya nje ya mazao ya kilimo yameanguka kwa zaidi ya nusu nzima ndani ya mwaka mmoja.
Poromoko la zaidi ya nusu nzima, ndani ya mwaka mmoja.
Hizo ni data za Bank of Tanzania.
Dar es Salaam. Tanzania’s agricultural export earnings have slumped by over a half in a year, which however saw gold earnings rising 25 per cent.
The 55 per cent drop which decelerated the traditional export earnings to $508.8m (Sh1.17tr) in the year to August 2019, was caused by a fall of either prices or volumes of the produce, including cashew nuts, cloves, tobacco and sisal, according to the latest monthly economic review of the Bank of Tanzania (BoT).
It was only coffee that saw increased volume due to good weather during harvest season.
Tourism is Tanzania’s leading foreign exchange earner with an annual average income of $2.3bn (Sh5.29tr) per year, followed by gold, transport services and manufactured goods.
Traditional exports – composed of agricultural produce – are now ranked fifth after dropping from $1.1bn (Sh2.53tr) in August 2018 to $508.8m (Sh1.17tr) this year
