TIPS FOR BUYING FARMING PLOTS ESPECIALLY TANZANIA

Tanzania has about 43 million hectares of cultivable land and only 33% of this has been used. This means there is plenty of farming land to buy and fulfil your dream of starting an agribusiness. This guide should give you insights on what it takes to become a farm owner in Tanzania.

The Right Land

There is plenty of land everywhere in Tanzania. The cost, location, how arable the soil is, among other things will determine where you decide to put your money. So how do you find farming land in a location of your choice.
However, you have to be careful about who you go to for land advice. A safe bet would be to ask for recommendations from friends or family on credible land agencies you can approach.

Proximity to the Market

If you plan on becoming a commercial farmer, then the land you buy has to be close to your target market. This helps reduce the cost of transporting inputs to the farm and produce to the market. Being close to the market can even knock out transport expenses altogether especially if vendors are willing to come to the source to get their supplies.

Access to Water

 Land bought close to a water catchment area like lakes or rivers are ideal. However, you must be prepared to pay a little extra for such convenience. The alternative is to build your own water reserve on the farm which adds to infrastructure costs.

Soil Information

Soil profile determines how arable the land is. Having knowledge of the type of soil in your farm also determines what kind of crop you will be farming. If there is a specific crop you wish you cultivate, then ensure you buy land with soil suitable for that crop. The land should also be located in an area with a conducive climate for farming the said crop.

Infrastructure
