6.3 GROUP 3: CROP PROTECTION PRODUCTS The group analysed the constraints and gave the following recommendations: Overall recommendation: After this national agricultural-input stakeholder consultative meeting, there is a need to hold a CPP-specific stakeholder consultative meeting. 7.0 CLOSING REMARKS BY THE PERMANENT SECRETARY FOR THE MINISTRY OF COOPERATIVES AND MARKETING During the closing ceremony, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Cooperatives and Marketing reminded the participants of the low levels of agricultural inputs use as earlier elaborated by the PS-MAFS during the opening speech. He reminded the participants that as the population of Tanzania grows so will the requirement for more food. As income grows, demand for high value agricultural produce such as fish, meat, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables will also grow. Increasing farmers’ incomes therefore would be a priority in order to meet these challenges/demands. He informed the workshop that the government has instituted measures aimed at promoting agricultural inputs’ use. These measures include abolition of duties on agricultural inputs and machineries, providing fertiliser subsidies, and establishment of the agricultural input trust fund. On the output side, he informed the participants that government has introduced an export credit guarantee scheme and enforced the cap of 5% of the local 40
government levies charged on farm produce. The government is also in the process of finalising the preparation of an Agricultural Marketing Policy, which will guide marketing of agricultural inputs and outputs in the country. He further called on the private sector to be proactive in taking up the challenges in developing agricultural input markets. He promised government interventions in case of market failures. Fostering public-private partnership is an important government policy (Attachment II). 41
