Tanzania activated the Northern, Central, and Mtwara agricultural growth corridors under the AGCOT framework to accelerate implementation of the Agriculture Master Plan 2050. The initiative targets a USD 100 billion agricultural GDP, USD 20 billion net exports, and 10% annual sector growth by 2050.
The rollout follows completion of the first phase of nationwide policy sensitisation consultations conducted from February 10 to 24, 2026, across 17 regions. The corridor framework aligns with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and positions Tanzania as a regional food supplier, as Africa’s population is projected to exceed two billion by 2050.
It is coordinated under a single national framework by the Agricultural Growth Corridors of Tanzania (AGCOT) and the Agriculture Transformation Office (ATO), in collaboration with the President’s Office – Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG), the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries. The consultations formally transition the corridor framework from planning into national-scale operations.
