CONSTRAINTS TO
IMPLEMENTATION OF NRDS
• Technical:- Low yielding varieties,
dependence on rainfall, Inadequate
infrastructure (irrigation, storage, electricity,
transport and processing) and low productivity
• Management and coordination:- budget
shortage, limited human resource, inefficient
inter-sectoral coordination, limited number of
DPs supporting for CARD/NRDS, etc.
CURRENT SITUATION ON RICE RELATED INTERVENTION
• TZ1.Technical Cooperation for Kilimanjaro
Agricultural Engineer Training Center Project II
• TZ2. Agricultural Sector Development Program
(ASDP) Common Basket
• TZ3. ASDP Irrigated rice & productivity improvement
• TZ4.Technical Cooperation for Formulation and
Training of the DADP Guidelines on Irrigation
Scheme Development
• TZ5. JICA Technical Cooperation for Supporting
Service Delivery Systems of Irrigated Agriculture
CURRENT SITUATION ON RICE RELATED INTERVENTION…
• TZ6. Improving Rice Varieties through Mutation
Breeding and Biotechnology Zanzibar
• FAO TZ7. Rehabilitation of Irrigation
Infrastructure in Zanzibar KOICA
• TZ8. Genetic enhancement to increase
productivity in rice through breeding for
resistance to RYMV disease in Tanzania
Rockeffeller
CURRENT SITUATION ON RICE RELATED INTERVENTION…
• ASDP: Eastern Africa Agricultural Productivity
Project- Rice Regional Centre of Excellence
(RRCOE) Regional Integration
• Government input support for food crop production
including rice
• NERICA rice research at KATRIN (National centre
of rice breeding) NERICA rice released varieties:- 2,
4, 7 and SWAB 450 in 2009. Other varieties are TXD
88, 85 and 306.
• Kilimo Kwanza resolve with ten pillars outlines on
how private sector and other stakeholders should
collaborate on agriculture
TANZANIA
RICE MAP
Production
Potential untapped
Consumption
Research
Project sites
Seed distribution
facilities
Priority areas
SUB-SECTOR PRIORITY
Rice- second food crop after maize also get input support
SHORT TERM
(i) introduce small-scale saving technologies to improve
efficiency of farm operations;
(ii) Strengthen research and extension services;
(iii) Strengthen collaboration and linkages between national,
regional and international institutions
SHORT/MEDIUM TERM
(i) Strengthen seed systems and its accessibility,
(ii) GAP and labour saving technologies on production and
processing;
(iii) Develop and rehabilitate irrigation schemes;
LONG TERM
(i) Develop infrastructure in rice production and value addition
NRDS LINKAGE WITH OTHER STRATEGIES
NRDS fits and links well with:-
• Agricultural Sector Development Strategy&ASDP
• National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of
Poverty (Kiswahili acronym MKUKUTA)
• Kilimo Kwanza resolve (Agriculture First)
• National Agriculture Policy 2010 (Draft)
• Tanzania Development Vision 2025
• Strategic Tanzania Ruling Party election Manifesto
of 2005 and October 2010 election
NRDS FUNDING FRAMEWORK
• Apart from support by DPs on rice sub-sector,
currently NRDS has been mainstreamed for
implementation through government budget
system. Activities are done through ASDP and
implemented at district level via DADPs
• The DADPs grants devolved to local level to
implement D by D policy
• However, more funding will be required to
implement medium and long term strategies of
NRDS
NRDS FUTURE STEPS
(i) Improving quality of implementation
Stakeholders along the chain will be involved in planning and
implementation of the strategy
(ii) Key intervention sub-sectors
•
Infrastructure development (irrigation, market, storage and
transportation network) through ASDP & Kilimo Kwanza resolve
•
Regional integration through Trade and technology transfer
(iii) Steps taken to improve conformity of NRDS with
development framework and investment
NRDS to continue implemented through ASDP. However, more
funding will be required through pooled, non-pooled and
General Budget Support
