Tanzania’s National Agricultural Extension Services Agency (NAESA) has formed a strategic partnership with the Tanzania Fertilizer Regulatory Authority (TFRA) to modernize agricultural support systems nationwide.The collaboration aims to improve productivity by providing farmers with training on fertilizer application and quality extension services.

Officials emphasized that the initiative will ensure direct engagement with farming communities through practical programs, focusing on proper fertilizer use to maximize crop yields and promote sustainable practices.

Demonstration farms and soil health education are key components of the partnership, addressing challenges like poor soil quality and counterfeit inputs.

By integrating regulatory expertise with extension networks, the agencies seek to protect farmers from substandard products while boosting food security and rural development.This move is critical for advancing Tanzania’s agricultural sector, which remains a cornerstone of the national economy.
