Tanzania has been able to feed itself and produce excess food for export through the small scale farmers. Theory that small scale farmers can never feed a nation is being proved wrong. Even in the sisal production Mo works in collaboration with small scale farmers. We promote sharing in Tanzania and he knows that. Tanzania is feeding itself, and even cash crops are grown in collaboration with large scale farmers. One person holding thousand acres of land while others are landless is unacceptable here. A large scale investor in farming needs to provide expertise, processing and marketing and model farms, the rest is done by outgrowers.

Tanzania does not have a hunger problem. Yes, there is an issue with poverty and low productivity agriculture but the nation is self-sufficient in food production through small scale farmers and sells excess to its neighbors. Mo Dewji's plan is commendable if done in the same manner as other large-scale tea, coffee and sugarcane farms currently operate in Tanzania. They engage and operate alongside small scale farmers, helping them gain new technology and access markets. Not replace them.

The problem with investing in Africa is they are psuedo-communists. You don't own land in Tanzania, you lease it for 99 years from the government. Africa needs to get out of its own way by embracing free market enterprise, and honoring their contracts with a sacrosanct rule of law. With all that being said, there is limitless potential for sub-saharan Africa.

This is actually the case in a lot of countries.. but you misunderstand the idea behind it. That said 99yrs is prrfunctionaily renewed at its expiration by the owner.

In the case of overriding public interest(like public amenities), your ownership can be transferred to another location.

At the very minimum, the mention of this project can at least inspire someone (especially young Africans) about the vast potential of Africa and do something constructive about it in their different spheres. At best, this project will not yield much benefit to the common man. Existing large plantations across Africa are proof of that fact. If Mo could pivot to buying commodities from thousands and tens of thousands of well run small farms then it would be a true win-win scenario. Decentralization is the way of nature and it cannot be bettered. Small organic farms run on the correct principles will definitely outperform large centralized farms in most ways.
