2.0 ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS 2.1 Assessment of Sector Performance 2.1.1 Irrigation Sub-sector 2.1.1.1 Irrigation - at national level As already stated at the introduction chapter, Irrigation in particular, is currently being looked upon (by both high level Government circles and the Private sector - under a new emphasis of ‘Kilimo Kwanza’ , as perhaps one of the most reliable vehicles for facilitating the achievement of the sector’s growth, reduction of poverty and food security, as per MKUKUTA cluster one and three targets. Assessment of performance of the Irrigation sub-sector performance is here looked at in two ways. First, is looking at area developed for irrigation over the years; and the second is looking at crop production and productivity. Nationally, area under irrigation up to 2007/08 was 289,254 ha. Recent institutional changes the irrigation sub-sector was put under the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, which immediately set its performance targets for 2008/09. In terms of acreage, the Ministry in 2008/09 had targeted to increase area under irrigated agriculture from the then existing 289,245 ha to 316,745 ha. However, though it did not have 100% achievement, it managed to achieve 78% (21,500 ha developed for irrigation and was for small holder 7 schemes). This was certainly a commendable achievement, on the basis of the target set. In the same year the Ministry had targeted to undertake feasibility study and irrigation design for 68 new irrigation schemes, but achieved to do so for 47 schemes; again a good achievement. The ministry had also planned to construct 2 dams, one in Nyamilangano (in Kahama District) and Maswale (in Babati District); and the achievement here has been 100%. Two other dams were targeted for Muheza District and Msoga (Bagamoyo District). However, in this task achievement was 40% completion. The Ministry also did assist in formulation of 283 schemes; out of which 184 were for DADP funding and 94 were for funding by District Irrigation Development Fund. Also for some of the schemes not yet completed, implementation was in various stages of completion. Table Ir1, below shows the Ministry’s targets for various irrigation activities against achievement. Massive investment in irrigation is really a very important element for ensuring success of Kilimo Kwanza and MKUKUTA goals. ASDP through DADPs funding of irrigation is still very limited to be of major impact on poverty reduction and ensuring sustainable food security. There is no doubt irrigation have revolutionized food crop yields for a number of crops, especially paddy, vegetables, flowers and even maize. For instance, paddy yields have tripled or quadrupled in many of the established irrigation schemes. At Kikula (Kilombero) and Mwamapuli (Tabora Irrigation Zone) schemes paddy yields have reached dependable yields of 7.9 tons and 10 tons per ha per season, respectively. 38

There are 7 million hectares of high and medium potential irrigation land. Thus, given the present level of resource allocation to the Ministry it will take some 330 years (3.3 centuries) to develop the whole high and medium irrigation potential land. What to be done - at national level The government needs to create an enabling environment to attract medium and large scale serious investors in this area. What kind of enabling environment is needed i) Government should try and provide a bigger budget for developing irrigation infrastructure ii) Government should consider increasing level of tax holiday to medium and large scale investors in irrigation. iii) The newly established Land Bank should have at hand large tracts of irrigable potential land, ready for investment by serous farming investors; and no red-tape to potential, serious investors wishing to have long-term lease for sizable land for irrigation investment. Title deeds, in particular, should be readily available. iv) Land for irrigation investment should be in reasonable size blocks of say about 4,000 ha for large scale farming and 500 to 1,000 ha for medium scale farming (this latter being largely for 39
