“Agricultural sector hires many people in the country. Therefore, to continue producing by traditional methods that were used long time ago will not enable us improve production. We need to ensure that we change the sector by employing improved technologies that are readily accessible within Tanzania,” Mduma explained.

The greenhouse technology increases good growth of crops and minimizes the adverse effects that of heavy rains or drought. The technology is applicable in urban and rural areas.

“We are very pleased that despite a few challenges, the event that has been organized in almost every zone has proved successful and a couple of exhibitors have appeared in a bid to exchange marketing information, experience and display their produces,” Mduma said.
