Vuli maize establishment has been completed in bimodal areas, while Msimu maize and sorghum planting is underway in unimodal regions. The last 30 days have been characterized by mixed rainfall patterns: above-average amounts have been recorded in the west (Kigoma, +66%); in contrast, the east of the country has marked below-average quantities (Tanga, -43%). The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) multimodel seasonal forecasts indicate a predominantly wet outlook throughout the country for the next few months. According to African Business, Tanzania has achieved 128% food security, producing surplus food that it is exporting to neighboring countries, thanks in part to the support of the African Development Bank and its participation in the 2023 Dakar 2 Food Summit, which mobilized over $72 billion in commitments to agricultural transformation across Africa.
