Daniel Mushi, the TMB Registrar, told a news conference in the capital Dodoma on Friday that Tanzania exported 3,256.6 ton of meat during the first quarter of 2022 worth $13 million.

He added that other measures include educating livestock keepers on how to fatten their animals to produce high quality meat.

“We are also intending to educate the livestock keepers on modern livestock keeping methods with a view to producing healthy animals,” said Mushi.

He added that the TMB in collaboration with the government is inviting and promoting investments in meat processing plants and construction of modern abattoirs.

Mushi said in 2021, Tanzania exported 10,415 ton of meat worth $42 million.
