Overview of SUA Research agenda 3
SUA’s research policy is grounded on the realities of Tanzania Society and Economy:
80% of the population derive their livelihood from agriculture, forestry and fisheries
smallholder farmers contribute over 90% of food and cash crops produced in the country and women contribute over 70% of agric labour force.
Agricultural transformation is key to poverty eradication in rural areas where it is more severe than in urban settings
To eradicate poverty, economic growth must be all inclusive
Land is scarce resource increasingly under population pressure which will double to 80+ million by 2050; sustainable use and access by small farmers is key to poverty eradication.
Therefore inclusive economic growth must address the needs of the smallholder farmer.
Hence SUA’s research for development agenda targets and works mainly with and for smallholder farmers within the context of existing and emerging challenges and opportunities.

Alignment of SUA research agenda with SAGCOT initiative
4
The Southern Agricultural Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) is an inclusive, multi-stakeholder partnership whose major objective is to: Foster inclusive, commercially successful agribusinesses
that will benefit the region’s small-scale farmers, and in so doing improve food security, reduce rural poverty and ensure environmental sustainability.
While these objectives are well aligned with those of SUA, Research and Development will inevitability be required to address some of the challenges of integrating small scale farmers in the SAGCOT value chains.

Potential areas for collaboration with SAGCOT

Upscaling of best practices and proven technologies to entire villages and districts is our major challenge
SUA cannot achieve upscaling working alone Partnerships are required Change in approaches required

Potential areas for collaboration with SAGCOT 19
Success stories from PANTIL and previous SUA research programme are visible in project villages and sites. Examples include: Of dairy cows in Njombe more than doubled from 5-8
litres to 12-20 litres/day though better dry season feeding strategies;
maize yields from 5-8 bags to 15 bags per acre (100kg each) through application of FYM and fertilisers (DAP)

Upscaling and outscaling of agricultural innovations and best practices
Weeding one acre of in finger millet/maize using one pair oxen DAP takes just 3 hrs compared to 15 days with hand hoe.
Use of Ox-ridger, ripper, developed at SUA more efficient than use of hand hoe

CCIAM Public-Private Partnership initiatives
SUA-CCIAM is collaborating with YARA, SYGENTA, local communities and NGOs to implement a project ‘Small-holder Production Systems in Tanzania: Striking a balance between intensification, sustainability, food security and climate’.
Sites are in Mvomero, Kilombero, Njombe and Makambako.
Crops involved are maize and rice.
Technologies tested: fertilizers, herbicides, improved seed.

Way forward 24
SUA working with other R&D public institutions such as UMB, NARIs can work with private partners to enable smallholder farmers become active role players in the SAGCOT initiative through: Farmer empowerment and market linkages Promotion of sustainable land use systems including
Conservation Agriculture Value chain analysis and upgrading strategies including
policy and governance Promotion of commercialization of improved
technologies and best practices Climate change modeling
