Nyerere na Kawawa wake,sio tu waling'oa reli ya Nach-Mtwara, bali pia walikataza zao la pamba lisilimwe katika mikoa ya kusini. Sababu kuu walijua kuwa watu wa mikoa ya kusini wangefunguliwa milango ya Kiuchumijamii,kielimu n.k wangepaa ktk kila nyanja na wasingekamatika. Matokeo ya sera ya wadumaze wananchi wa Kusini kielimu na kiuchumi, ndiyo haya tunayoyaona leo. Wakusini wameishia kusapoti tu chama cha magamba
Kilimo cha pamaba kwa mikoa ya kusini kilipigwa marufuku tokea enzi za ukoloni na kinaendela kupigwa vita hadi leo hii. Ungekuwa wewe ndiyo rais wa Tanzania ungeruhusu?

[h=1]Cotton cultivation not allowed in southern Tanzania due to insect pest[/h]
DAR ES SALAAM, 07/30 - Planting cotton is not allowed in southern
Tanzania currently on the ground of the rampant cotton pest, red ball
worms, according to reports reaching here on Friday.
Deputy Minister for Agriculture and Food Security Pius Mbawala told the
parliament in Dodoma that being wary of possible spread of red ball
worms, the government was not going to introduce cotton cultivation to
the southern areas in the coming planting season.
He said that the pest of red ball worms is very notorious in
neighboring southern African countries, planting cotton in the south
part of Tanzania will be at the risk of carrying the pest to the
country`s major cotton producing areas in the western and eastern parts
of the country.
Over 90 percent of some 300 million kg of cotton harvested last year in
the country came from the western and eastern cotton growing zones and
the Tanzanian government had intended to introduce the cash crop to the
southern areas.
Cotton is Tanzania`s largest export crop after coffee and around
500,000 rural households grow cotton as their sole cash crop, depending
on it for livelihood.
