In Tanzania, 94% of total beef cattle herds are predominantly produced using traditional beef cattle farming (a free-range production system), while only 6% is produced using commercial (modern) beef cattle farming. The traditional beef cattle industry provides 95% of the country’s beef meat. The national beef cattle herd is dominated by indigenous beef cattle which are currently displaying low productivity, but they have much potential if feed, health, and breed improvements can be made.

The beef meat industry in Tanzania is an extremely important component of the agribusiness sector. It provides high-value protein in the nation’s diet; and contributes to food security. Beef meat is the leading component of the red meat (beef, goat, and mutton meat) produced and consumed in Tanzania. It is with this regard, that we as a company we intend to modernize cattle farming in Tanzania to meet the needs of the current market.
