Understanding Land Investment Deals in Africa: Tanzania<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

After decades of limited interest in agriculture in developing countries, foreign direct investment (FDI) in agriculture is on the rise. In recent years, over 4 million hectares (ha) of land have been requested by foreign investors for both agrofuel and food production in Tanzania. Though a small portion of these (70,000 ha) had actually been formally leased as of December 2010, this confirms Tanzania as a very attractive country for foreign investors seeking to grow food and agrofuels for export.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Land Deal Brief: Tanzanian Villagers Pay for Sun Biofuels Investment Disaster<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tanzanian government has put agriculture at the forefront of its development agenda through its \u201ckilimo kwanza\u201d (agriculture first) initiative, which was established in 2009. For a country like Tanzania, which is gifted with a rich diversity of natural and human resources and has a\u00a0population that is still largely rural, investment in agriculture can offer considerable development potential. In recent years, the production of agrofuels by foreign energy companies has been a growing area of agricultural investment in the country. Although proponents of this trend\u00a0argue that it will bring much-needed agricultural investment to a country where the majority of the population is engaged in agriculture, others are concerned that large-scale agrofuel production, coupled with insecure land rights and weak land governance, is actually fuelling exclusion of rural households from their land.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
