Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/17/2014 --We continue to favour the Tanzanian sugar and coffee industries over the medium term owing to their potential for growth on the back of strong investment in capacity. The grain industry in Tanzania will remain less competitive than in other countries in the region, particularly South Africa and Zambia, and we see little potential for the country to become a major grain exporter.

Key Forecasts

- Sugar production growth to 2017/18: 39.2 % to 424,500 tonnes. Increased investment in the sector as well as booming demand on the back of growing confectionery and soft drinks demand will support growth.

- Corn consumption growth to 2018: 17.9 % to 5.9 mn tonnes. A combination of enhanced yields (contributing to lower prices) and rising living standards is expected to drive corn consumption growth.

- Coffee production growth to 2017/18: 25.2 % to 1. 4 mn 60kg bags. The sector is benefiting from investment in disease-resistant trees, and from incentives for small producers.

- 2014 real GDP growth: 6.9% year-on-year (y-o-y), stable compared with the 2013 level; forecast to average 7.2% over 2013-2018.

- Consumer price inflation: 7.3% average in 2014 (down from 7.9% average in 2013).

- BMI universe agribusiness market value: 1 3.8 % y-o-y decrease to USD 1. 7 bn in 2014, forecast to remain relatively stable between 2012/13 and 2017/18.

Industry Developments

Despite the introduction of drought-resistant rice seeds, farmers in Tanzania struggle to be competitive owing to higher power tariffs and increased combined harvester costs. Local farmers have indicated that even if they have managed to double production of rice thanks to the new seeds in some cases, they still pay up to TZS97,000 per hectare for a whole season, TZS150,000 per hour per combine harvester and TZS3,000 per bag per day.

Aside from Ethiopia, East African coffee producers have seen either stagnation or outright...
