Tanzanian Plantations

Southern HighlandsGreen Resources Limited (GRL) manages three plantations in the Southern Highlands with 12,682 ha of standing forest on 74,000 ha of land. An additional 21,000 ha of plantations can be established on the existing land areas. The remainder of the land is set aside for conservation purposes, buffer zones and infrastructure or is inaccessible. The land areas set aside for planting are low-value grassland that has almost entirely been acquired from local villages.
The objective is to grow trees for a wide range of forestry products. The Southern Highlands of Tanzania already have East Africa’s largest concentration of plantation forests and the largest wood processing industry. The plantations and industry is focused on Mufindi District, but increasingly also in neighbouring areas, as witnessed by Green Resources’ extensive operations in Kilombero District. The largest forest owner in the region is the government, with its 40,000 ha Sao Hill Forest Plantation, while Mufindi Paper/Tanwat owns more than 10,000 ha of standing forest. There are also a rapidly growing number of smallholder-owned forests. The government forest is over-mature and over-logged, resulting in lower harvesting rates during the last two years. With minimal new planting taking place in the government forest from about 1985 to 2005, there should be a wood shortage in the region from about 2020 onwards.
There is a good road connection to the main population centres in Kenya and Tanzania, which represent the home markets for the Southern Highlands’ wood products. Dar es Salaam port is the export hub. The Southern Highlands have the potential to become a large producer and exporter of wood products. However, the combination of strong regional demand and supply limitations make it likely that most of the products will be sold locally and that East African wood product prices will continue to increase more rapidly than world market prices.
GRL’s planting capacity has increased steadily, reaching a peak of almost 3,000 ha in 2011. New planting in 2012 was reduced to 1,805 ha planted across the three plantations in addition to some re-planting of previously partly-failed plantings. Green Resources has invested significantly in the infrastructure in the Southern Highlands. The state of the art high capacity Makungu tree nursery is the most modern in the region.
Coastal lowlandsThe warmer climate and lower altitude of Tanzania’s coastal regions allow for different species to grow, including teak and other high-value hardwoods. After some initial experimentation with teak, Green Resources has decided to focus all operations in this area on eucalyptus, through its subsidiary Lindi Forests Ltd (LFL). The coastal lowlands are well located for supplying the Dar es Salaam metropolis, one of Africa’s largest and fastest growing, and for export.

dodoma kimenuka bunge la 11

WAKATI wabunge wateule wakianza kujisajili leo tayari kwa vikao muhimu vya kwanza vya Bunge la 11 wiki ijayo ikiwamo kumchagua Spika na Waziri Mkuu, Serikali ya Mkoa wa Dodoma imesema imejipanga vyema kuupokea ugeni huo na kuuhudumia huku ikisisitiza amri iliyowekwa ya kuzuia mikutano ya hadhara na maandamano iko palepale.

Wabunge wametakiwa kujisajili kuanzia leo mjini hapa hadi keshokutwa Jumapili, wakati Jumatatu ijayo itakuwa ni siku ya kupeana maelekezo, kutembelea Ukumbi wa Bunge na mikutano ya kamati za vyama vya siasa.

Kwa mujibu wa ratiba ya Ofisi ya Bunge iliyotolewa wiki iliyopita, Jumanne ya Novemba 17, itakuwa siku ya kuanza kwa kikao cha kwanza kwa kusomwa Tangazo la Rais la Kuitisha Bunge, ikifuatiwa na uchaguzi wa Spika, Kiapo cha Uaminifu na Kiapo cha Spika na kisha Kiapo cha Uaminifu kwa wabunge wote.

Wabunge wataendelea kuapa hadi Alhamisi asubuhi, na kisha jioni watathibitisha uteuzi wa Waziri Mkuu, uchaguzi wa Naibu Spika na kisha ataapishwa. Ijumaa, Rais John Magufuli atalihutubia Bunge.

Katika taarifa yake kwa vyombo vya habari kutokana na kuanza upya kwa pilikapilika za kisiasa hususani vikao vya Bunge, Mkuu wa Mkoa wa Dodoma, Chiku Galawa alisema amri hiyo ya kuzuia mikutano ya hadhara na maandamano ya vyama vya siasa bado inaendelea ili kuweka utulivu muda wote wa vikao vya Bunge.

“Amri ya kuzuia mikutano wakati wa Bunge iliwekwa na Kamati nzima ya Ulinzi na Usalama ya Mkoa wetu ili kuwezesha Bunge kutekeleza majukumu yake bila kubughudhiwa na watu au vikundi fulani vyenye nia mbaya ya kuvuruga usalama wetu,” alifafanua Galawa.

Wabunge na wageni mbalimbali wameshaanza kuwasili mjini Dodoma na Galawa aliweka wazi kuwa mkoa umejipanga vizuri kuwapokea na kuwahudumia wabunge na wageni wote watakaoingia. Alisema mkoa una uzoefu wa kuwapokea wageni wengi kwa mara moja kwa muda mrefu hivyo kila atakayekuja asiwe na wasiwasi wa mahali pa kufikia.

Kuhusu hali ya ulinzi na usalama wakati wa Bunge, mkuu huyo wa mkoa alisema wamejipanga vizuri na kuwaahidi kuwa wageni wote wataondoka salama, na kwamba yeyote atakayethubutu kuchezea hali hiyo ya usalama, atachukuliwa hatua kali za kisheria kwani hawatakuwa na mchezo katika hilo.

Aidha, aliwashauri wafanyabiashara wa nyanja zote mkoani kutumia fursa hiyo ya kuingia kwa wabunge hao na wageni wao kujiongezea kipato katika biashara zao. Aliongeza kuwa kama watawahudumia vizuri watajipatia wateja katika kipindi hiki na wengine kuwa nao kwa kipindi cha miaka mitano ya uhai wa Bunge la 11.

Aliwataja wafanyabiashara wenye fursa hizo kuwa ni wenye hoteli, wauza vyakula, maduka, sokoni pamoja na wajasiriamali wadogo. Kuhusu makaribisho rasmi kwa Dk Magufuli alisema mkoa unaendelea kuwasiliana na Ikulu kujua ratiba kamili ya shughuli za Rais atakapokuwa mkoani katika ziara yake ya kwanza tangu aingie madarakani Novemba 5
