TADB-backed Youth Farm Project

under construction

A youth-led agribusiness farm project in Zanzibar started in 2019 on 12 acres in Paje, South Unguja. The project produces vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes, cucumbers, papayas, and bell peppers, supplying 4- and 5-star hotels along the island's eastern tourism corridor. It has expanded with financial and technical support from the Tanzania Agricultural Development Bank (TADB), including irrigation facilities, high-quality inputs, and a modern storage facility. The project also sources produce from smallholder farmers in nearby villages, linking them to reliable markets and strengthening the agricultural value chain, contributing to rural economic transformation and reducing reliance on imports.
