The Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, Natural Resources and Livestock (MAINL) is the beneficiary of the EU-funded AGRI-CONNECT programme. Zanzibar has a great potential for developing agriculture due to its comparative advantage of having conducive agro-climatic conditions that favor production of varieties of crops. The presence of wide varieties of fruits, vegetables and spices provide unique opportunity to capture both domestic and export markets. In recognition of this potential, the AGRI-CONNECT programme joined efforts with the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar to address the present shortcomings and scale up investments that would lead to increased agricultural production and productivity.
