Abstract
It is not true that we inherited a flourishing agricultural sector at independence.Tanzania has always had to import food during bad years; in 1962 we imported 69,000 tons of maize.But although production has greatly increased, our population has increased faster.Now we have to import food every year; even this year-which looks like being much better than at any time since 1978- we are unlikely to produce enough to feed all our growing urban population.
