AND FIFTY MAGENDELA, KARATU

FARMERS in the Arusha region who have received training in ecological farming have demonstrated in practice that Tanzania can move away from the use of pesticides and industrial fertilizers.

According to George Ndege, who is among the Ecological Agriculture farmers, Karatu in Arusha region, he notes that Ecological Agriculture, which uses natural, non-industrial inputs, has had significant health benefits for consumers and land protection in light of climate change.

Mzee Ndege says that on his 10-acre plot of land, he has been cultivating vegetables, coffee and beekeeping and is proud that the vegetables he grows have been in greater demand because they are better than those grown using industrial fertilizers.

 "Here I grow vegetables, coffee using natural fertilizers and pesticides by making them myself and making them safer for the consumer unlike those grown with pesticides and industrial fertilizers. He says his main market after harvesting is in tourist hotels in Karatu in Arusha region and it has given him great success including increasing his income and building some guest houses in Karatu."

He also notes that he has been confident of the market although he is unable to explain it because the demand is high as he currently serves only five hotels despite the presence of more than 80 tourist hotels in the area.

Meanwhile, Elder Modest Fantee, a farmer from Endagem village, Karatu in Arusha region, has made it clear that through ecological farming he has been obtaining abundant crops without using farming that has an impact on the land.

I received my Ecological Agriculture education from the IDP Institute, which has been a great help to us as they provide us with natural seeds and have developed a system for keeping seed banks in villages and here I have a seed bank and they are protected in a natural way. “By using Ecological agriculture, my family also has enough food with good nutrition since its growth was not done with chemical fertilizers, here I use cow manure and natural fertilizers that I make myself.

"I am also grateful that after we started using Ecological Agriculture, we have also started teaching many people and for us we have become like a classroom, so this education continues to spread to other areas within our ward and outside," he said.

Also, Adili Msangi who is involved in ecological agriculture, animal husbandry, production of organic fertilizers and natural pesticides and conservation of natural seeds, in Karatu district, confirms that using sustainable agricultural systems has helped them to have safe crop production for human consumption and environmental protection.

In fact, ecological agriculture has helped us to give good results on the land by obtaining safe crops as we use natural fertilizers made from animal bones, as well as crop residues which others see as garbage and we transform them into a working tool and give good results on the farm.

 "We also use cow urine which we compost and at the end of the day it becomes a pesticide and that has been attracting many farmers to come and train and use it in their fields and abandon chemical pesticides. "We use natural pesticides and fertilizers to ensure that we get safe crops for human consumption but also Ecological agriculture does not kill insects but repels them but if you use industrial ones they kill all insects including those that pollinate flowers including bees and butterflies, he said.

He said that since he received his agricultural ecology education in 2017, he has had great success in the field and a wide scope for distributing natural seeds to other farmers, although the biggest challenge he faces is the lack of a bone processing machine for making fertilizer, which costs 12 million.

And Our Writer.

Chinese-owned Fortune Paper Group, which has invested more than 154 billion shillings in Tanzania since 2022, is seeking policy support from the government to protect its recycling-based manufacturing business from what it calls unfair competition from cheap imported products.

In a special interview held on the sidelines of the International Zero Waste Day exhibition held at Mnazi Mmoja grounds, the company said it plans to expand production and strengthen its long-term investment in Tanzania, which currently employs more than 150 local workers.

The exhibition was held today, March 30, 2026 in Dar es Salaam as part of the culmination of the national celebrations of the International Zero Waste Day and was attended by the Minister of State in the Office of the Vice President responsible for the Environment, Hon. Hamad Yusuf Masauni.

Speaking, Fortune Paper Factory Business Manager, Colin Yang, said the company collects waste paper from various locations in Tanzania and converts it into packaging products used for boxes, envelopes and other industrial uses.

"This is our raw material, we collect waste paper from all over the country and convert it into products for various types of packaging," said Yang.

Describing the investment as a business as well as a contribution to the environmental sustainability agenda in Tanzania.

The company began operations in Tanzania in 2022 and has since invested more than $60 million in factory production capacity and local operations, according to Yang.

He also added that the Fortune Paper factory intends to expand its products as well as increase capital investment due to expectations of long-term growth in domestic demand.

However, Yang said the business is facing pressure from imported paper products, especially from India and China, which he said are entering the Tanzanian market under a duty exemption scheme that allows them to avoid taxes paid by local producers.

Kuelekea maadhimisho ya Siku ya Wanawake Duniani, Chama cha ACT Wazalendo kupitia Ngome yake ya Wanawake kimezindua mnara wa kumbukumbu kwa ajili ya watu waliopoteza maisha kufuatia matukio ya vurugu yaliyotokea Oktoba 29, 2025.

Akizungumza wakati wa uzinduzi huo uliofanyika Machi 3, 2026, Kiongozi wa Chama cha ACT Wazalendo, Dorothy Semu, amesema hatua hiyo inalenga kuenzi kumbukumbu ya waliopoteza maisha na kuonesha mshikamano na familia zilizoathirika na matukio hayo.

Dorothy amesema maadhimisho ya Siku ya Wanawake Duniani ni wakati muhimu wa kutafakari nafasi ya wanawake katika jamii pamoja na changamoto wanazokutana nazo, ikiwemo maumivu wanayopitia mama waliopoteza watoto wao katika matukio hayo.

“Machozi ya mama anayesubiri kurejeshewa mwili wa mwanae ni kilio kisicho na sauti, lakini chenye uzito mkubwa kwa taifa. Machozi ya mama ni deni la taifa,” amesema Dorothy.

Amesisitiza kuwa taifa linahitaji uponyaji wa kweli kufuatia matukio ya Oktoba 29, akieleza kuwa uponyaji huo unaweza kupatikana kwa kukabiliana na ukweli wa yaliyotokea pamoja na kuhakikisha haki inapatikana kwa waathirika.

KAMPUNI BORA ILIYOSHEENI UBUNIFU WA KURAHISISHA MAISHA INAYOITWA ZERA IMEZINDUA MAGARI YANAYOTUMIA UMEME, UKICHAJI UNATEMBEA KM 300

KAMPUNI BORA ILIYOSHEENI UBUNIFU WA KURAHISISHA MAISHA INAYOITWA ZERA IMEZINDUA MAGARI YANAYOTUMIA UMEME, UKICHAJI UNATEMBEA KM 300

Kampuni ya ZERA imezindua magari yake mapya aina ya ZERA ZMEV ambayo yanatumia nishati ya umeme.

Akizungumza katika uzinduzi wa magari hayo, Katibu Mkuu Wizara ya Nishati anayeshughulikia nishati, Mhandisi Felichism Mramba, amempongeza ujio wa magari hayo ya umeme kwa sasa kwa kiwango kikubwa na kusema kuwa utaleta mapinduzi katika eneo la huduma za usafirishaji hapa nchini.

Mhandisi Mramba amesema kwa makadirio kwa sasa nchini kuna magari zaidi ya elfu 5 yanayotumia nishati ya umeme, hivyo ujio wa magari ya ZERA si tu utasaidia sekta ya usafirishaji bali pia itakuza vipato vya Watanzania.

Amesema gharama za kuendesha chombo hicho cha umeme kunapunguza gharama kwa zaidi ya asilimia 85.

"Gari hizi ambazo zinaweza kutembea kilomota 300 baada ya kuchaji ni hatua kubwa ya mafanikio na itaboresha mazingira kwani magari hayo hayatoi moshi," alisema.

Amesema vyombo vinavyotumia nishati ya umeme ni mwaroabaini ambao utaifanya Wizara ya Nishati kuongeza uzalishaji wa umeme ili kuendana na kasi ya teknolojia hii ikiwa ni pamoja na kuweka maeneo maalum ya kuchaji magari hayo ambapo magari mengine yatachajiwa kwa wakati mmoja.

"nataka niwahakikishie kwamba itapunguza sana ukali wa maisha lakini kwa kuagiza gari hizi ambazo gharama ni wakati tu wa kuagiza ila baada ya hapo hazibadikishwi oil wala kuhitaji matengenezo ya mara kwa mara," aliongeza Mramba.

Kwa upande wake, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Kampuni ya ZERA, Emmanuel Kazimoto, amesema kampuni hiyo inalenga kujenga mfumo kamili wa usafiri wa umeme unaojumuisha uuzaji wa magari, ufungaji wa miundombinu ya kuchaji, ushauri wa kubadilisha magari ya kampuni kuwa ya vanema, pamoja na huduma za matengenezo.

Ameeleza mpango wao utaanza kwa kuingiza nchini magari ya kampuni hiyo ya ZERA yaliyokamilika (CBU), kisha hatua ya pili italenga kuingiza yaliyoandaliwa nusu (SDU) ili kuongeza ushiriki wa wataalamu wa ndani, huku hatua ya tatu ikilenga kuanzisha mkusanyiko wa magari hayo hapa nchini.

Aidha amesema magari hayo yametoka China lakini baadaye wataanza kutengeneza hapa nchini kwani tayari wameshapata kibali kutoka TISEZA cha kuyatengeneza nchini na kiwanda chake kitakuwa eneo la Kibaha, Pwani.

Amesema katika hatua za mwanzo, kampuni hiyo imeingiza magari kadhaa ya umeme kwa ajili ya maonesho na matumizi ya majaribio, ikiwa ni pamoja na yale ya abiria na mabasi madogo yanayoweza kutumika katika usafiri wa mjini. Mpango huo pia unatekelezwa kwa ushirikiano na wadau mbalimbali ikiwemo Shirika la Umeme Tanzania (TANESCO) katika masuala ya nishati na miundombinu
