There is also fish farming.<\/p>\n<p>NCBA Bank will do well to support farmers across the entire spectrum of the agriculture value chain, from farm to industry.<\/p>\n<p>NCBA Bank Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Margaret Karume thanked their hosts for their kind acceptance towards the historic journey to greatness.<\/p>\n<p>By combining the strengths of the two previous entities, NCBA becomes a stronger and larger bank, with the financial strength, expertise and regional connectivity to put its customers first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are achieving this through a variety of products and services that will enable both our business and individual customers to go for it and achieve more. In turn, it will support Tanzania\u2019s economic growth aspirations. We are, therefore, confident that NCBA Bank has right financial solutions that will support the sustainability and growth of tourism in Tanzania.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Tanzania: NCBA Bank Tanzania Limited has launched new two branches in Arusha at the weekend as the bank focused on fostering financial resilience in the tourism sector in the region.
