Assessing the AgTech Market in Tanzania

This presentation explores the gaps and opportunities in financing startups within Tanzania's agricultural sector. It includes insights on both commercial and non-commercial funding, as well as contributions from hubs—such as incubators, accelerators, and venture studios—that have supported AgTech startups through funding or in-kind assistance over the past decade.

Tanzania’s AgTech ecosystem captures just 1% of East Africa’s funding, reflecting its nascent stage, smaller deal sizes, and heavy reliance on grants. Investments are primarily directed toward off-farm solutions like logistics and food processing, while commercial funding and climate-smart innovations remain underdeveloped.
