Why Tanzania · productive economy
The public record shows a broad production base and a deep household footprint. The next question is visible in the same evidence: how much output is irrigated, processed and captured beyond the raw crop.

Scale
Agriculture’s GDP share, household count and crop participation establish breadth. They do not, by themselves, establish productivity or processing economics.
Water
Only 3.5% of household planted area was irrigated in the survey, keeping weather exposure central to the production record.
Value addition
Very high unprocessed-sale shares in several cash crops make processing depth a measurable question rather than a slogan.
Freshness contract
“Latest” means the newest verified observation the named authority has published. A source check never advances an observation date.
Event-driven bulletins; checked daily
Wholesale district-market observations, not farm-gate prices.
