This is a big asset to increase our trade relations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Bashungwa said this recently while addressing traders in Kayanga Township, in Karagwe District, where he assured farmers in the country of getting better prices, noting that coffee, tea, bananas, cassava and groundnuts were among the crops in high demand in countries like China and Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated the government\u2019s commitment to rehabilitating and expanding several airports, including Bukoba Airport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fifth phase government under President John Magufuli is keen on improving roads and bridges, especially along border regions, including Kagera Region. This will attract investment opportunities, including foreign markets. Better roads will also facilitate the transport of people and goods,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>The projects will enhance economic and social development and more investors are welcome to invest in the country\u2019s sectors of the economy like agriculture, a key priority of the fifth phase gov ernment under President John Magufuli.<\/p>\n<p>Industries that produce goods for mass consumption such as clothes, textiles and edibles are highly encouraged.<\/p>\n<p>President Magufuli\u2019s administration has embraced industrialisation as a panacea for unemployment among the youth because it is expected to be one of the significant remedies for unemployment due to the fact that more job opportunities across the country will be created.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout having an efficient industrial base, the country\u2019s economy can hardly develop and create job opportunities. Industries have the great potential to create jobs and attract capital, skills and knowledge\u2026industrialisation will pave the way for prosperity\u2026 national development cannot be imported, it must come from within,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that Tanzania stood a good chance to produce food crops to feed other populations in the SADC and EAC regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
