Marble products are rapidly replacing wood products in a wide array of applications such as table tops, kitchen tops,etc. Tanzania is currently experiencing a boom in the stone extraction industry hence reducing the pace of deforestation in the country whereby most wood products are now being replaced by marble products.
Lets now take a photo tour of one of the many stone extraction and processing plants in Tanzania

Step one: Mountain clearing
In this stage, the mountain to be harvested is cleared of all the overburden soil so as to expose the desired marble rock.

Step two: Mountain slicing
In this second stage, the exposed marble rock is sliced up into square pieces whereby they will be chopped off for further processing. A special stone cutter with a gigantic disc blade does the job.

Step three: Chopping-off Marble cakes
Once the rock has been sliced up into cakes, the cakes are chopped off and removed from the mining pit and prepared for transportation to the processing plant.

Step four: Slicing marble cakes
Once the marble cakes are delivered to the factory,they are sliced up into pieces using a heavy duty stone cutter.

Step five: Chopping-off marble slabs
Once the marble cake has been sliced up into pieces, the sliced slabs are chopped off ready for polishing.

Step six: Marble polishing
The slabs are then taken to the polishing stage whereby they are put through intense mechanical polishing so as to achieve a desired lustre. The finished slabs are then bundled up ready for the market. The slabs are mostly used as kitchen and counter tops.

We jamaa muhongo sana....yaani umepewa million 7,ili uanzishe mradi mkubwa kama huu?!.
Usiwe light hearted kihivyo.., unapewa asilimia 0.003 ya sehemu ya uwekezaji..., ebo!, na sio kuanzisha.., upo na unafanyika

Eti reducing the pace of deforestation mbona hawazungumzii mkaa kama janga la deforestation, hilo wanalolifanya hapo tutalijutia pale tutakapozinduka several years to come,

Walitakiwa watuambie hayo maeneo wanayoharibu hapo yatafaa kwa shughuli gani mbele ya safari? Je wanafanya reforestation? Je hakuna viumbe hai wanaodhurika hapo?

Naona kama pia wanatangaza biashara

Hakuna mradi utakaofanya kwenye nchi hii bila ya kuandaa EIA (Environmental impact assesment) na kupata NEMC certificate
