TANZANIAN authorities announced on Friday that they have drawn a strategic plan for the construction of an ambitious manufacturing industry by 2025 in the East African nation.
A $3bn manufacturing industry investment plan will enable the country to trade in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), Ashatu Kijaji, the Minister for Investment, Industry and Trade, told parliament.
Kijaji revealed the investment plan when she tabled in the House her ministry’s budget proposals for the 2022/2023 financial year that begins on July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.
Kijaji told the House in the capital Dodoma that most of the mega manufacturing enterprises will be constructed in earmarked industrial parks in Dodoma, Morogoro and Mwanza regions.
