NAIROBI: PRIME Minister Mwigulu Nchemba has today, May 11, 2026, met with the President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), Alvaro Lario, in Nairobi, Kenya, where they discussed various areas of cooperation in the agriculture sector and economic empowerment for citizens.
During the talks, Dr Mwigulu said Tanzania will continue cooperating with IFAD in several areas, including climate-resilient agriculture, agribusiness development, digital transformation in the agriculture sector, and economic empowerment for youth and women.
The Prime Minister also stated that Tanzania looks forward to continued collaboration with IFAD in implementing various agricultural development projects, including a sunflower production expansion program aimed at increasing the availability of cooking oil in the country.
“It has been a productive meeting because we have had a long-standing partnership with them. In recent years, we have worked together on several projects, especially in productive sectors.”
“We are also committed to continuing cooperation in developing mixed crops, which in the past were considered only food crops. Today, these crops are commercial products and are becoming part of Tanzania’s growing trade with other countries.”
He added that Tanzania expects to continue cooperating with IFAD in the livestock sector and marine products in Zanzibar.
“In addition, we expect to work together on sustainable agriculture initiatives that support our national campaign to address climate change,” emphasized Dr Mwigulu.
