The major economic activity in Tanzania is agriculture. Tanzania has been blessed with 94.5 million hectares of land out of which 44 million hectares are classified as suitable for agriculture (ASDS, 2001). However, only part of the 44 million hectares is suitable for agricultural production for a variety of reasons, including soil leaching, recurring drought, and pest infestations. The agriculture sector accounts for 26.7% of Tanzania’s GDP and provides employment for the majority of the population. According to the International Labor Statistics (ILO), the agriculture sector in Tanzania employs nearly 80% of the workforce out of whom 90 percent are women yet the average monthly incomes amongst employed men are 1.67 times higher than women. Most of the workers who reside in the rural areas are not covered by formal social security schemes, health care, life insurance etc. At present, there are a number of programs, policies and strategies which have been put in place to assist in the growth and development of the agriculture sector in Tanzania and to name a few: Vision 2025; National Strategy for Growth and Poverty Reduction (NSGPR); National Agriculture & Livestock Policy; Agriculture Marketing Policy of 1997; Kilimo Kwanza; SME Development Policy etc. Despite these policies and strategies, the agriculture sector in Tanzania faces many challenges exporting these products.
Among the crops grown in the country, include the high value non-traditional horticulure crops such as baby corn, french beans, flowers, baby carrots, fruits etc. Most of the horticulture crops grown in Tanzania consist of fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers and spices. Tanzania is well known to be among one of the 20 biggest producers of horticulture crops but statistics indicate that it is not one of the 20 biggest exporters in the world.

To maintain its share of the continent’s agriculture GDP by 2030, Nigeria will need to grow its agriculture sector revenues by a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% annually. To ensure this is achieved, agriculture budget to GDP will have to be sustained by at least 7% annually. It is estimated that agriculture is Africa’s largest economic sector, representing 15% of the continent’s total GDP. Nigeria contributes 14% of Africa’s agriculture GDP. The World Bank forecasts that by 2030, the food market in Africa will grow to be a US$1 trillion industry. Nigeria will need to intensify its investments in improving agriculture yield and integrating the value-chain over the next decade to effectively capture a significant share of the US$1 trillion market.
Feeding Nigeria's current and future population is a critical challenge. This challenge necessitates the adoption and application of innovations to agriculture so as to make the sector more competitive and sustainable. Boosting economic growth in agriculture is a function of three factors: farmland expansion, yield growth and reduction in post-harvest losses.
Nigeria - Best Business Opportunities, Identification and Selection of right ...Ajjay Kumar Gupta
Nigeria is situated in the West African region and its coast in the south lies on the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean. It comprises 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, where the capital, Abuja is located. Nigeria lies between longitudes 3 degrees and 14 degrees and latitudes 4 degrees and 14 degrees. It has a land mass of 923,768 sq.km. It is bordered to the north by the Republics of Niger and Tchad; it shares borders to the west with the Republic of Benin, while the Republic of Cameroun shares the eastern borders right down to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean which forms the southern limits of Nigerian Territory. The 800km of coastline confers on the country the potentials of a maritime power. Land is in abundance in Nigeria for agricultural, industrial and commercial activities. Modern-day Nigeria has been the site of numerous kingdoms and tribal states for millennia. Nigeria is often referred to as the "Giant of Africa", owing to its large population and economy. With approximately 174 million inhabitants, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and the seventh most populous country in the world. Nigeria has one of the largest populations of youth in the world. As of 2015, Nigeria is the world's 20th largest economy, worth more than $500 billion and $1 trillion in terms of nominal GDP and purchasing power parity respectively. It overtook South Africa to become Africa's largest economy in 2014. Also, the debt-to-GDP ratio is only 11 percent, which is 8 percent below the 2012 ratio. Nigeria is considered to be an emerging market by the World Bank; it has been identified as a regional power on the African continent, a middle power in international affairs, and has also been identified as an emerging global power.
This article is the second part of a three-part series. In the first part, we discussed the current state of intra-African trade, the AfCFTA and its importance, and highlighted businesses that have successfully leveraged regional integration in ASEAN.
Since the publication of the first part of this article, Nigeria has joined the CFTA. With Nigeria in the CFTA, Nigerian businesses have direct access to a market of over one billion people. Therefore, they must prepare to take advantage of the new markets that the AfCFTA grants access to. However, the Nigerian market is now directly open to intra-African competition from businesses in countries with comparative advantage.
In this part, we discuss the current state of trade in Nigeria, and highlight African countries with businesses with the capacity to compete with Nigerian businesses in the Processed Agriculture, Retail and Trade, and FMCG sectors.

Webinar: Measuring And Monetizing Strategic Innovation Ali Zeeshan
To view recording, watch the video at end of the slide or visit https://youtu.be/AlBVmA3u37g
Measuring innovation can be difficult. Some assume that innovation is more of an art form. Or they realize that “innovation” is a word that means different things to different people, and so assume that it cannot be measured. This is unfortunate, because managing both innovation and measurement are critical to the successful execution of strategy and monetizing (or deriving tangible benefits from) your innovation efforts.
The webinar will provide valuable insights about these timely topics of performance management:
Webinar Topics
• The steps your organization can take to define what innovation means for your strategy
• The steps needed to design and implement a set of measures that will help you implement your strategy and achieve results
• Keys to monetizing innovation
• The critical factors for successfully introducing and managing strategic innovation
• How to develop and maintain a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship

Time Management: Productivity and Time StealersAli Zeeshan

A poor use of time can lead to issues with: your personal finances and your long-term career aspirations; relationship problems at home; and/or health problems brought on by stress and anxiety.
Unfortunately, there are many demands coming from ‘time stealers’ who are, potentially, diverting you from using your time in the way you wish to use it.
The aim of this webinar is to provide you with a brief insight into the strategies, tools and techniques you can utilise to help you manage your time more effectively.

Many businessmen and women see contracts as legal documents, but a healthier approach is to see them as business documents which must be written the right way if they are to be legally enforceable. For many of us, therefore, leaving the contracts to the lawyers means that we miss an opportunity to have a contract which can be used as a working document which prevents problems with suppliers and customers. This webinar explains an approach which can be used to ensure that contracts prevent problems from occurring, or fully prescribe your rights and remedies should things go wrong.

The webinar covers the major business benefits management principles, practices and techniques that enable organisations to optimise the return from their investments in programmes and projects.
The Objectives Of This Webinar Are To Explain How To:
1. Relate the business case to business benefits
2. Differentiate between business KPIs vs Project KPIs
3. Establish a benefits management chart
4. Plan and prepare for organisational readiness
5. Plan to perform project transition and handover
6. Measure the realisation of business benefits
Business Benefits Realisation is about ensuring that programmes and projects deliver the forecasted benefits identified in a business case or project charter document. Obtaining an acceptable return on investment is critical, but many organisations struggle to demonstrate that their programmes and projects deliver the required business benefits.
Often there is confusion over what benefits are required, who should track them and how and what the effective measures should be. The explicit role of a project manager is to deliver the project to ensure the scope, schedule and budget components are satisfied. However the intrapreneurial and business-minded project manager is the one who is acutely aware of the business aspect of programmes and projects and truly understands the rationale driving their organisation’s investment strategy. This project manager provides true value.

This webinar is designed as a practical guide to using the Balanced Scorecard.
The Balanced Scorecard is a system used extensively in business and industry, government, and non-profit organisations worldwide to align business activities to the vision and strategy of the organisation, improve internal and external communications, and monitor organisation
performance against strategic goals.
The Balanced Scorecard was originated by Drs Robert Kaplan (Harvard Business School) and David Norton as a framework to help managers consider both financial and non-financial aspects of their business and design performance metrics around them.
While the phrase Balanced Scorecard was coined in the early 1990s, the roots of this type of approach are deep, and include the pioneering work of General Electric on performance measurement reporting in the 1950s and the work of French process engineers (who created the Tableau
de Bord – literally, a "dashboard" of performance measures) in the early part of the 20th century.

Webinar: Aligning the Employee to the Strategy of the OrganisationAli Zeeshan

For other Informa Webinars: http://www.informa-mea.com/webinars
Top management and the CEO decide on the goals and strategy of the organisation, but it is the staff who actually implement that strategy.
Most organisations struggle with the "cascade" of strategy from corporate level (Tier 1) to Unit / Department (Tier 2) and ultimately to the individual employee (Tier 3). If the employees are not aligned to the strategy, it is unlikely that the strategy will be successfully implemented.
To work effectively usually requires the close co-operation between the corporate strategy office and HR - because it is the HR Performance Management System that generally provides the process mechanism to align personal objectives/actions to the departmental (and ultimately, the organisational) strategy. That Strategy Office - HR interface is not always a strong relationship.
