Dar es Salaam. The government is planning to make reforms in sugar trading by allowing importation as part of measures to address the recurring crisis around the highly consumed sweetener.
The Tanzanian sugar business is a bit protected, allowing only local producers to dominate the market while importation is permitted to fill a deficit and feed industrial consumers. However, minister for Agriculture Hussein Bashe said he will propose to amend the law to allow the importation of sugar, which is now putting Tanzania in crisis.
