Tanzania Horticulture Association

he Tanzania Horticultural Association (TAHA) is a Business Association
grouping together all aspects of the Horticulture Industry in Tanzania.
Since its inception in 2004 TAHA has successfully brought together the
large scale professional operations and the many growers’ groups and
small holders into a single bloc with a single business oriented set of
interests. This achievement has resulted in TAHA becoming the fastest
growing farmer organization in the region. And the recognition of that
accomplishment has brought the partnerships and support that are
continuing to transform the industry. The Government of Tanzania and
Development Partners such as USAID, BEST-AC, the Royal Netherlands
Embassy and Finnish Government are all involved in supporting
Horticulture in projects in partnership with TAHA or in part designed
with the advice and participation of TAHA. As a result TAHA is
strategically placed to both influence the course development and
advocate the reduction of constraints. By bringing the producers,
traders, exporters and processors of all horticultural products – that
is flowers, fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs and seeds - TAHA has
created a single Voice. A voice of both large scale and small that
resonates locally, nationally and internationally and with a common
understanding that the challenge is about making business work. TAHA has
been leading the industry in addressing that challenge and anticipates
Horticulture’s contribution to be significant to both Economic Growth
and Poverty Eradication
