ANALYSIS By Dorris Otieno Kenyan teachers are not only the best paid in East Africa, but also earn almost 12 times more than the country's average pay, a comparative study by Nation Newsplex and the Institute of Economic Affairs reveals. Even as teachers go on strike for the 12th time since their first industrial action in 1962, the analysis, which compares teachers' salaries in Kenya with those of their peers in select African countries , also finds that the lowest-paid teacher in Kenya earns more than the highest-paid teacher in Uganda. Uganda and South Africa were chosen as countries against which to compare wages of teachers because they have the most up-to-date data against which the comparison could be made. While Tanzania was not included in the comparison because only average pay for the year 2011 was available, even its figures indicated that Kenyan teachers earn more than their Tanzanian counterparts.

Investment opportunities in livestock Industry in Tanzania

-






Aim:

To position Tanzania such that it can benefit from the exponential growth in demand for livestock products across the region.

 Current Situation:

 • Tanzania’s livestock population has been increasing by 5% per annum; its 21.3 million large cattle population make it the biggest in Southern Africa
• However, 97% of all animals are kept by smallholders who are often faced with poor productivity and yields

 Market Opportunity:

 • Increased population sizes, urbanization and income levels across Africa are boosting demand for meat
• Starting from a per capita consumption of 12kg pa, Tanzania’s demand for meat is expected to triple by 2030
• Current increases in livestock supply will not be able to meet future demand and large scale investments are needed to provide technical skills and capital to run ranches, feedlots, abattoirs, meat processors and tanneries

Tanzania’s Competitive Advantage:

 • Tanzania already exports meat to the middle east & neighboring countries, with significant growth potential
• The National Ranching Company (NARCO) has made 100,000ha of prime ranch land available for investors and supports investments in feedlots, abattoirs, meat processors, rendering plants and tanneries
• The climatic conditions for livestock operations in Tanzania are ideal, with high rainfalls providing the mostly flat grasslands with the necessary water to keep livestock at a stocking rate of 1animal per 3 hectares or better
• Investors are supported and incentivized through tax holidays, duty-free imports of capital assets, favorable loans from the Tanzania Investment Bank (TIB) and administrative support from the Tanzanian Investment Center
