The Organic Window of Opportunity

In the National Agriculture Policy of 2013, organic farming is described as a ‘window of opportunity’ that has the capacity to enhance both ‘national and farm incomes’. The policy makes reference to constraints to organic agriculture including high certification costs and weak regulation. Little is being done however, to follow up statements made in the policy and develop further the organic sector, which currently contains 148,610 certified farmers. This policy brief carries the recommendation that policy statements should be pushed forwards into the Agriculture Sector Development Strategy phase two (ASDS2) and also the Agriculture Sector Development Program phase two (ASDP2). By following these recommendations and more contained within this brief, the state will create an environment for organic farmers in Tanzania to fully exploit the window of opportunity that is organic agriculture, leading to higher incomes and better health, a win-win for farmers, consumers, the environment, and the economy.
