In recent developments, the fertilizer trade between Russia and Tanzania has had a significant impact on the agricultural landscape in Tanzania, fostering growth and sustainability in the sector.
The collaboration between the two countries has led to positive outcomes for Tanzanian farmers and the agricultural industry as a whole.
Tanzania, known for its agrarian economy, heavily relies on agriculture as a cornerstone of its economy and employment. The introduction of fertilizers from Russian exporters has played a crucial role in enhancing agricultural productivity and ensuring food security in the country.
The partnership between Tanzanian fertilizer stakeholders and Russian exporters has opened up avenues for cooperation and mutual benefit in the international fertilizer trade.
To implement international fertilizer trade, some fertilizer stakeholders from Tanzania participated in a round table meeting with Russian fertilizer exporters to discuss how the two parties could cooperate and benefit from the international fertilizer trade.
The round table on fertilizer trade organized by the Russian Embassy in Tanzania in collaboration with the Tanzanian Coffee Board and Cashew Board,which took place at the Russian Cultural Centre in Dar Es Salaam, had the Tanzania Fertilizer Regulatory Authority (TFRA), Tanzania Fertilizer Company Limited (TFC), and a large number of Tanzanian private importers and traders so as they discuss together ways forward as partcipants.
In the discussion, the Russian side was represented by some of the largest Russian companies in the industry, including EuroChem group, Uralkhem, Russian association of fertiliser producers, and many others.
Acknowledging Tanzania’s strides in launching a fertilizer support program under President Samia Suluhu Hassan, there is a concerted effort to make fertilizers more accessible and affordable to farmers across the country. This initiative not only aims to bolster agricultural output but also to promote agribusiness and food security.
With this reform, the government aims to provide accessible and affordable fertilisers to farmers nationwide to have a large stock of food produced in the country and also to increase agribusiness for farmers.
The Russian Ambassador to Tanzania, Andrey Avetisyan, highlighted the critical role of Russian fertilizer exporters in global agriculture, emphasizing their substantial contribution to food production and ensuring food security worldwide.
“The Russian fertilizer exporters play a pivotal role in global agriculture, contributing significantly to the production of food and ensuring food security worldwide, and that is the aim here in Tanzania to help in the agriculture sector,” said Ambassador Avetisyan.
Mr Avetisyan also emphasized the ongoing building trade ties between the two countries is direct continuation of the second Russia-Africa Summit held late July in Saint Petersburg, Russia and it was attended by Prime Minister, Kassim Majaliwa and a large group of Tanzanian businessmen.
The ongoing efforts to strengthen trade ties between the two countries underscore a shared commitment to advancing agricultural practices and promoting sustainable food production.

The partnership reflects a shared vision of improving agricultural practices, ensuring food security, and fostering sustainable development in Tanzania.
