Strategic Policy reform to Save the Tanzania Poultry sector Amidst the Soya Meal Challenge By Alpha Ngunyale       The Tanzania Commercial Poultry Association (TCPA) and the Tanzania Feed Manufacturers Association (TAFMA) are spearheading initiatives to cultivate a business environment that will empower the local poultry sector and achieve global competitiveness. This partnership aims to support Tanzanian poultry farmers and consumers by providing safe, affordable, and high-quality inputs like day-old chicks and poultry feed, thereby driving business growth. However, achieving global competitiveness requires a unified effort among all stakeholders to dismantle the barriers impeding the sector’s growth and profitability.

By Alpha Ngunyale (Executive Secretary at Tanzania Commercial Poultry Association) The Tanzanian poultry industry’s battle for survival The Tanzanian poultry industry has faced numerous challenges, particularly from cheap imports and illegal importation. These issues have threatened the survival of local poultry farmers and investors despite significant strides in production capacity and infrastructure. To ensure the industry’s future, the government and stakeholders must intervene and reduce operational costs, making Tanzania’s poultry sector competitive not only within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the East African Community (EAC) but also globally. This would make poultry products more affordable for Tanzanians and position the country to export regionally, attracting more foreign exchange and investments. https://lnkd.in/djaQpzrH

Iran's poultry industry is interesting to watch, but this article highlights a broader economic challenge that may not be immediately apparent to those outside the region, which is the complexity of managing multiple exchange rates. The fluctuating currency rates in Iran can make it difficult for poultry farmers to effectively plan for the future. This financial unpredictability may impact day-to-day operations and could influence investment decisions within the poultry sector. A more consistent exchange rate policy might contribute to stabilising the industry and supporting sustainable growth.
