Rethinking the state’s price control role amid liberalisation – 3

In this regard, recent directives issued by Morogoro District Council requiring specified spice crops to be marketed exclusively through designated warehouses have raised important legal and policy questions. The Minister for Agriculture may wish to clarify the legal basis under which this directive was issued; whether local authorities possess delegated powers to require compulsory warehouse marketing for these crops; whether farmers retain the right to sell to licensed buyers at the farm gate; and whether the likely effects on competition, private investment and prompt payment to farmers were fully assessed before implementation. Equally important is the impact on thousands of small-scale spice traders—many of them young entrepreneurs—who currently purchase produce directly from farmers and transport it by public buses to Dar es Salaam and other markets.
