The National Irrigation Commission of Tanzania has announced plans to develop 13 irrigation schemes for agriculture in Mbeya region to improve crop yields.

The new facilities will be spread over 24,550 hectares of land in the districts of Mbarali, Kyela and Rungwe. According to the director of the National Irrigation Commission, Raymond Mndolwa, the 13 irrigation schemes will be commissioned in June 2023. The work will be funded by the Tanzanian treasury through the 2022/2023 financial year budget.

Future irrigation systems

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Tanzania is experiencing continued growth in its agricultural sector, especially for staple foods such as maize, cassava, rice, sorghum and bananas. The new irrigation project will improve wheat yields in a context marked by the drought in Mbeya, which is manifested in the absence of rainfall, and the Ukrainian crisis, which is causing international wheat prices to rise.

The future irrigation systems will support the existing equipment. Existing facilities will be rehabilitated. This project is being launched at a time when several other such initiatives are underway in Tanzania, including the construction of a 268 m3 water reservoir to irrigate 11,700 hectares of farmland. This project, which will be launched in April 2021, aims to improve farmers’ production within five years.
