@Regrann from @problkthought - Many Tanzanians are waiting for rain with bated breath as drought has left land unfit for farming. Crops have failed and livestock died for lack of pasture. Drought has scorched a number of districts, with residents seeking assistance. Panicking farmers have started selling their livestock to have money to buy food. Sadly, the National Food Reserve Agency has been caught napping. It had 90,476 tonnes of cereals in October 2016, down from 253,655 tonnes in October 31, 2015, the Bank of Tanzania has reported. The #Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA) has warned that half of the major cereal-producing regions received rain below average last month. That means food production will be terribly low. The situation may derail economic growth. The government should thoroughly assess the food situation, dispatch food relief to the worst-affected households, supply more cereals to the market and restrict grain exports. Cereal imports should be increased and, if the need arises, seek international help. To have a lasting solution to food insecurity, Tanzania should invest heavily in irrigation, research and development to have affordable high-yielding crop varieties and other inputs. We cannot depend of rain. #PanAfricanism #BlackNationalism #BlackEmpowerment #AfricanEmpowerment #AfricanAndProud #BlackAndProud #BlackPride #BlackPower #BlackLivesMatter #Amerikkka #UnapologeticallyBlack #UnapologeticallyAfrican #BlackInAmerica #BlackIsBeautiful #KnowThySelf #KnowledgeOfSelf #KnowledgeOfSelfIsANationality #EconomicEmpowerment #IntegrationFailed #WhiteLiesMatter #Education #AfricanUnification #AfricanUnity #BlackLove #JusticeOrElse #ProBlack
