Tanzania sets up textile development unit for investors

The Government of Tanzania has set up a Textile Development Unit (TDU) within the Ministry of Industry and Trade, to support investors, the East African Business Week reported.
The TDU is expected to help the investors find the information they need about the textile and apparel sub-sector, the advantages of investing, and the investment incentives and guarantees, as well as practical information on setting up a business in Tanzania.
According to TDU, the Tanzanian textile and garment sub-sector provides investors with outstanding opportunities to capitalize on its great but under-exploited potential.
In recent years, investment in the sub-sector has grown quickly, with new and existing businesses already seeing substantial gains. In addition to providing opportunities for joint venture partnerships, Tanzania also supports a profitable, integrated manufacturing value chain from cotton field to finished garment production.
The country’s economy is undergoing rapid economic transformation, with growing domestic and regional markets. There is a great demand for knitted fabrics and garments within the domestic market to replace the current high volume of imports.
Textiles and garments from Tanzania enjoy duty-and quota-free access to the US market through the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). Tanzania, as part of the East African Community (EAC), has an interim Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) in place with the European Union (EU), of which the agreement guarantees tariff-free access to EU markets.
In Tanzania, cotton is grown in 15 regions, divided into two zones—Western and Eastern. These two zones have different soil types and their rain distribution and cotton pests and diseases also differ.
For the ongoing cotton season 2014-15, Tanzania is expected to produce 250,000 tons. In 2012-13, Tanzanian farmers produced around 360,000 tons of cotton, about 57 percent more than 255,000 tons produced in 2011-12.

坦桑尼亚为投资者建立纺织品开发单位

东非商业周刊报道，坦桑尼亚政府已在工商部内部成立了一个纺织品开发单位(TDU)来支持投资者。

TDU有望帮助投资者找到在纺织品和服装分部门中他们所需要的信息,投资优势,投资激励和担保以及在坦桑尼亚建立业务的实用信息。

根据TDU,坦桑尼亚纺织品和服装分部门为投资者提供了显著的机会来利用其伟大但且需进一步开发的潜力。

近年来,分部门的投资增长迅速,新的和现有企业已经可以看到可观的收益。除了向合资企业提供机会,坦桑尼亚还支持从棉花到成衣生产有利的，集成制造的价值链。

随着日益增长的国内及区域市场，该国经济正进行快速的经济转型。国内市场对针织面料和服装有很大需求，替代当前的较高的进口量。

通过《非洲增长与机遇法案》(AGOA)，坦桑尼亚纺织品和服装享受免税非配额进入美国市场。坦桑尼亚,东非共同体(EAC)的一部分, 与欧盟(EU)有一个临时经济伙伴关系协定(EPA)，协议保证坦桑尼亚产品零关税进入欧盟市场。

在坦桑尼亚,棉花种植分布在15个地区，分为两大区域，西部和东部。这两大区域有不同的土壤类型，他们的降雨分布以及棉花的害虫和疾病也有所不同。

在2014-2015当前进行的棉季，坦桑尼亚预计将生产25万吨棉花。在2012-2013年年度,坦桑尼亚农民生产了约36万吨棉花,较2011-2012年度255000吨的产量上涨了57%。
