Government outlines measures to revive cocoa amid sharp price drop

Mbeya. The government has unveiled a set of measures aimed at stabilising and reviving Tanzania’s cocoa industry following a sharp fall in prices that has alarmed farmers and industry stakeholders.

Authorities say the decline is largely linked to global market dynamics, but insist new strategies are being rolled out to safeguard markets and improve the crop’s long-term value for farmers and the national economy.
