Tanzania: Grain and Feed Annual
Reported by Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA), the delayed onset and below-average rainfall in the northern bimodal and central transition areas has resulted in significant crop loss. FAS/Dar es Salaam forecasts marketing year (MY) 2017/18 corn production to decrease by 9.1 percent from the previous year 2016/2017. A marginal increase in wheat consumption is forecast in 2017/2018 due to rapid urbanization, rising incomes and dietary diversification where corn has previously been the predominant starchy staple.
