FRACTIONS: A STORY IN 4 CHARTS 3 TANZANIA
The East African nation is expecting a production of around 200 thousand tonnes. In June, Zirack Andrew of Tanzania Pulse Network told GPC that Tanzania is “like an oasis in the desert in the sense that it is surrounded by three major pigeon pea producers who are battling with El Nino effects that have impacted production.” The fact that Tanzania has not been impacted, Andrew said, “will contribute to increased demand for pigeon pea and chana from Tanzania,” adding that “prices last year were the highest in 7 years, which has encouraged farmers to increase the production areas.”
The country's crop was not hit by El Niño, unlike nearby producers who were impacted.
