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: Exim to Raise Fund for Mental Health Facilities Upgrades
EXIM Bank to raise 300m/- over the next three years for financing essential services and infrastructure upgrades in mental health facilities.
The bank’s Head of Marketing and Communications Stanley Kafu unveiled this when introducing Exim Bima Festival 2024 as a platform for bringing together individuals, organisations and various sectors for raising the funds.
“Exim’s initiative aligns with the government’s broader goals to ensure that every citizen has access to quality healthcare, including mental health services,” he said.
The initiative, which is one of the events for celebrating the bank’s 27th anniversary is scheduled for Wednesday this week in Dar es Salaam.
Mr Kafu highlights that this year’s festival is not only about raising awareness of the importance of insurance in the society but also focuses on enhancing access to mental health services and improving the overall well-being of the nation.
Statistics from the Ministry of Health shows a staggering 82 per cent increase in mental health cases over the past decade.
Mental cases have risen from 386,358 in 2012 to 2,102,726 in 2021, making the need for mental health services more urgent than ever.

Unfortunately, the country’s ability to address this growing challenge is hindered by a shortage of mental health professionals, infrastructure, medical equipment and essential medication.
For example, out of the 28 regions in the country, only five have facilities that provide adequate mental health services.
The most affected group is the youth aged 15 to 39, who represent the nation’s workforce, underscoring the need for intensified efforts to safeguard this generation for Tanzania’s future well-being and development.
Mr Kafu said by improving mental health services, Exim aims to contribute to the creation of a network of communities that can access care quickly and affordably.
Exim Insurance Department Manager Tike Mwakyoma said they are appreciating the support from partners in the insurance industry, who have stood by them since the last festival.
“Let’s continue this unity for the development of all Tanzanians and our nation as a whole,” the manager said.
