Dar es Salaam. CFAO Mobility has introduced reliable transport solutions aimed at transforming the transportation of agriculture from farms to markets and processing industries in the country.
The transport solutions are also intended to facilitate the transportation of finished goods from industries to retailers and consumers.
The introduction was announced in Dodoma during the just-concluded Nane Nane International Agricultural Expo 2024, themed: Embrace Visionary Leadership for Agricultural Transformation.
President Samia Suluhu Hassan officially closed the event on Thursday, August 8, 2024.
Speaking to The Citizen, the company’s sales representative, Mr Isakwisa Kanyelela, said the solutions include Fuso Trucks models F1 and Canter.
He said the company aims to give Tanzanian farmers and traders a firsthand experience of their vehicles and demonstrate the benefits of owning a brand-new Fuso for their agricultural and trading needs.
“We are participating in the NaneNane Expo to reach more farmers and Agri traders and inform them about our Fuso brands and the after-sales services we offer to simplify their farming and trading processes,” said Mr Kanyelela.
“We have noticed that many farmers and traders lack the right information to make informed decisions. When they hear about zero-kilometre vehicles, they often think of the high cost of ownership without considering the reliability and after-sales benefits offered by CFAO Motors,” he added.
He said CFAO Motors was there to ensure that many farmers and stakeholders get a basic awareness of the agribusiness sector and allow them to experience vehicles firsthand through inspection and test driving.
The company’s director of sales and marketing, Ms Tharaia Hamad, stated that they are embodying this theme by taking leadership in providing reliable transportation for the agriculture sector.
“We are taking on the challenge of transforming transportation in the sector by ensuring farmers and traders move away from unreliable solutions and adopt our reliable transport solutions,” said Ms Hamad.
The 2024 Nane Nane International Agricultural Expo, which culminates on August 8th with the celebration of Farmers Day, was closed on Friday, August 8, 2024, by President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
The expo attracted thousands of businesses and institutions from various sectors, both domestic and international, making it arguably the biggest agricultural expo in Tanzania and East Africa.
FAO Mobility Tanzania is proud to be among the businesses and stakeholders that participated in the significant event, contributing to the development and transformation of Tanzania’s agriculture sector.

Tanzania Declares Marburg Outbreak – Africa CDC Mobilizes Immediate Response
Addis Ababa, January 20, 2025</Strong> — Tanzania has declared a Marburg virus disease (MVD) outbreak after confirming one case and identifying 25 suspected cases in the Kagera Region of Northwestern Tanzania. The Marburg virus, a highly infectious and often fatal disease, is similar to Ebola and is transmitted to humans from fruit bats and monkeys. This outbreak marks the nation’s second encounter with the deadly virus, following the outbreak in Bukoba District of Kagera Region in March 2023, which resulted in nine cases and six deaths.
In response to this urgent threat, the Africa CDC is mobilizing strong support to help Tanzania contain the outbreak. A team of twelve public health experts will be deployed as part of an advance mission in the next 24 hours. The multidisciplinary team includes epidemiologists, risk communication, infection prevention and control (IPC), and laboratory experts to provide on-ground support for surveillance, IPC, diagnostics, and community engagement.
The Director-General of Africa CDC, Dr. Jean Kaseya, has engaged with Tanzania’s President Samia Suluhu Hassan and the Minister of Health to ensure coordinated efforts and secure political commitment for the response.
“Africa CDC stands firmly with Tanzania in this critical moment. To support the government’s efforts, we are committing US$ 2 million to bolster immediate response measures, including deploying public health experts, strengthening diagnostics, and enhancing case management. Building on Tanzania’s commendable response during the 2023 outbreak, we are confident that swift and decisive action, combined with our support and those of other partners, will bring this outbreak under control,” Dr. Kaseya stated.
Africa CDC has recently supported efforts to enhance the diagnostic and sequencing capacity of public health laboratories in Tanzania. PCR Test kits and genomic sequencing reagents have been dispatched, with additional supplies in the pipeline. To ensure rapid identification and confirmation of cases, the institution will also provide technical assistance to strengthen detection and genome sequencing for better characterization of the pathogen. Additionally, support will be provided to improve case management protocols and enhance the capacity to deliver safe and effective treatment.
Africa CDC is committed to working closely with the Government of Tanzania, regional partners, international organizations, and global stakeholders, including the World Health Organization, to stop the spread of the Marburg virus.
