Speaking at a press conference held in Mwanza on Sunday, he invited anyone approved by the Fertilizer Regulatory Authority to import the product, as a strategy to cut down the cost to the end users.<\/p>\n

Prof Mkenda assured traders that the government will support them when they face challenges regarding the importation of the fertilizers.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that he had already held talks with several companies in the country regarding the importation of the fertilizer.<\/p>\n

He said his ministry had successfully cleared the fertilizer shipments stranded at the port as he argued traders should expect to experience the competition in the market.<\/p>\n

According to the Minister, fertilizers demand in the country stands at 700,000 tonnes per year adding it has shot up as more farmers use it to boost productivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
