The Njombe region seems to be set to become a leading producer of avocadoes in Tanzania; big investments has attracted other farmers from different parts of the country.
According to Tanzania Horticultural Association (TAHA) Development manager Anthony Chamanga, the Njombe region is endowed with fertile soils that are suitable for avocado plantation compared to other parts of the country. Normally one avocado tree can produce up to 150kg but most farmers get between 30 kg and 50kg something that shows that farmers are making huge losses.
