TANZANIA – Tanzania’s Sakare Specialty Tea Company has officially been inaugurated in the Bungu Tanga region, bringing a revival to the country’s tea sector.
The facility is set to revolutionize Tanzanian tea cultivation, processing, and marketing, marking a significant stride in agricultural value-addition and industry marketing practices.
Kazi Yetu Limited CEO, Linus Ndongwe, commended the launch, recognizing its potential to enhance value addition, job creation, and the quality of farmers’ lives, thereby increasing competitiveness in the global market.
While attending the launch, Tanzania’s agriculture minister, Mr. Hussein Bashe, while attending the launch outlined the transformative measures during the launch event, emphasizing the SSTC’s pivotal role in reshaping tea cultivation, processing, and marketing practices in the country.
