Arusha. The Tanzanian government is expecting to save about $121 million (more than Sh326 billion) annually importing soda ash for industrial use, as it invites local and international private sector investors to participate in the development of a major natural soda ash mining and processing project in Engaruka, Monduli District, Arusha Region.
The project, which is expected to produce more than 500,000 tonnes of soda ash annually, is being developed by the National Development Corporation (NDC) and aims to utilise the country’s vast soda ash resources found in the Engaruka Basin to meet domestic industrial demand and supply international markets.
