Wakulima wa parachichi wafunguliwa soko China

Dar es Salaam. Shirika la Chakula na Kilimo la Umoja wa Mataifa (Fao), kwa kushirikiana na Mamlaka ya Afya ya Mimea na Viuatilifu Tanzania (TPHPA), limesaidia kampuni tatu za Tanzania kupata soko la parachichi nchini China.

Mafanikio hayo yanatokana na ushirikiano kati ya Serikali na wadau katika sekta ya kilimo na biashara.

Soko hilo limepatikana baada ya TPHPA kuwezeshwa kufuata utaratibu unaohitajiwa na Mamlaka Kuu ya Forodha wa China (GACC).

Msaada huo ulitolewa kuypitia mradi wa Kuimarisha Afya ya Mimea Tanzania kwa Usalama wa Chakula Ulioboreshwa, (STREPHIT), unaolenga kuboresha upatikanaji wa mazao ya kilimo salama na ya ubora wa juu kwa masoko ya kitaifa na kimataifa.

Akizungumzia soko hilo kupitia taarifa iliyotolewa na Fao leo Jumatano Septemba 4, 2024, Meneja wa Ufuatiliaji wa Afya ya Mimea na Uwezeshaji wa Biashara wa TPHPA, Mdili Katemani amesema,”kwa msaada kutoka kwa mshirika wetu Fao, tumekamilisha kwa mafanikio taratibu zinazohitajika na soko la China na kuruhusu wakulima na wazalishaji kuuza aina tatu za parachichi mbichi ambazo ni Hass, Fuerte na Pinkertons.”

Katemani ambaye pia ni Mratibu wa Kitaifa wa Mradi wa STREPHIT amesisitiza kuwa,  mafanikio haya ni matokeo ya juhudi za pamoja za Serikali ya Tanzania, ikiongozwa na Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan  na msaada wa kiufundi kutoka kwa Fao.

Ili wazalishaji wa ndani waweze kuuza parachichi China, wanapaswa kusajiliwa na GACC kupitia TPHPA.

Aidha, mashamba ya uzalishaji, vituo vya upakiaji na kampuni za kuondoa vijidudu lazima zisajiliwe na TPHPA ili kupata nambari za ufuatiliaji zinazohitajika kwa utambulisho wa wauzaji.

Zaidi ya hayo, mashamba haya yanapaswa kuzingatia mbinu bora za kilimo na usimamizi wa wadudu ili kudhibiti wadudu wa karantini kama vile nzi wa matunda, viwavi jeshi na vidukari.

Ufungaji, uhifadhi na usafirishaji wa parachichi lazima pia ufuate itifaki zote zilizokubaliwa kati ya Tanzania na China.

Mbali na parachichi, China imekuwa ikipokea mazao ya kilimo kutoka Tanzania, ikiwamo kahawa, soya, ufuta, korosho na mazao ya baharini.

Wakati wa ziara yake ya kidiplomasia nchini China mwaka 2023, Rais Samia alitia saini Itifaki ya Mahitaji ya Usafi wa Mimea kwa Mauzo ya Parachichi Mbichi kutoka Tanzania kwenda China, hatua iliyofungua njia kwa upatikanaji huu wa soko kihistoria.

Chini ya mradi wa STREPHIT, unaotekelezwa na Fao kupitia Umoja wa Ulaya (EU) na Serikali ya Tanzania, juhudi zinaendelea kuhakikisha mahitaji yote muhimu yanatimizwa ili kuweka mazao ya kilimo ya Tanzania katika soko la kimataifa.

Tanzania tayari inauza parachichi kwa nchi mbalimbali, zikiwamo India, Uholanzi, Kenya, Uingereza, Umoja wa Falme za Kiarabu, Afrika Kusini na Ufaransa.

Tanzania’s opposition party ACT Wazalendo honours veteran politician under new policy

Unguja. Opposition party ACT Wazalendo today officially bids farewell to its former Chairman, Juma Duni Haji, also known as Babu Duni, as part of a new policy designed to honor retired senior leaders at a ceremony held at Kiembesamaki, Zanzibar.

The initiative highlights the party’s commitment to recognizing and supporting individuals who have served with dedication and integrity.

Babu Duni, who stepped down earlier this year, was succeeded by Othman Masoud, now the First Vice President of Zanzibar.

The policy aims to provide ongoing respect and support to retired leaders, ensuring their continued recognition and contribution to the party’s development.

“Recognizing their significant contributions to the development and prosperity of the party, this policy ensures that retired leaders continue to be acknowledged and respected by both the party and the community,” the policy states.

To benefit from this policy, leaders must not have left or been expelled from the party. They must have served the party with honor and dedication. The national leadership committee will determine whether a leader has fulfilled these criteria.

The policy seeks to honor retired leaders, protect their dignity, acknowledge their contributions, leverage their ideas for the party’s growth, and support them to the best of the party’s ability.

In honoring these leaders, the party will provide a vehicle, the type of which will be determined by the national leadership committee. Additionally, they will receive a monthly allowance, with the amount also set by this committee.

Other benefits include health insurance. If a leader does not own a home, the party will cover their rent at a rate decided by the committee.

The leadership committee may also grant special recognition based on the leader’s contributions. Retired leaders will participate in decision-making meetings according to procedures outlined in the party’s constitution.

Depending on the party’s resources at the time, the policy may also apply to retired deputy chairpersons for both the mainland and Zanzibar, the Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary-General for both mainland and Zanzibar, and the party’s Attorney General.

Additionally, leaders, executives, or members with exceptional contributions to the party’s protection, advocacy, and defense may also benefit, as determined by the leadership committee.

Currently, those who are eligible for benefits under this policy include Juma Duni Haji (retired party Chairman) and Zitto Kabwe (retired party leader).Continue Reading
