(Ecofin Agency) - Tanzania could export 84, 000 tons of rice to Kenya and 60, 000 tons to Rwanda in 2018, according to the East Africa Cross-border Trade (EACT)’s recent forecasts.  

In a document relayed by the East African, this outlook is based on an assumption of strong market supply in the country, thanks to a good harvest in August and high stocks which could lead to a price drop

Tanzania is one of the major rice producers in East Africa with 2.7 million tons produced during the 2016-2017 season, according to an estimate of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). The crop is mainly produced under rainfed system in Myeba (South-West) and Morogoro (Centre-East) regions, notably.
