Rationale forthe TYIAF Lindi and Mtwara road show;
Currently, there are a number of projects and initiatives as well as policies which support and recognize the youth and their roles in social development. Nevertheless, despite the various efforts to promote the involvement of the youth in agribusiness, it is still not perceived as a viable business or employment option. This could be due to a number of factors including poor or no promotion of agribusiness
Opportunities, lack of incentives, even the conventional education systems which lack of enough practical oriented agribusiness skills, capacity as well as enough information as relate to clear policy implementations and the available agribusiness opportunities that inspired and motivated youths especially Graduates can tap into. But in other side Agriculture sector still offer varieties of entrepreneurial and employment opportunities in its subsector value chains. All this is happening in the face of a rising demand for food as population grows, and investment in agribusiness services for betterment of Agricultural sector growth Register now to attend
