The rice production factory located in Kahama District, Shinyanga Region, owned by a Tanzanian investor who invested more than 100 billion shillings, is among the largest domestic investment projects in the country.

This project was registered with the Investment Authority and has successfully obtained various tax incentives, including customs duty exemption for capital assets such as machinery, equipment, truck heads and iron steel used in the construction of the factory. This project is being implemented in an area of ​​​​54 hectares. 

Earlier today, the investor was visited by a team from the Tanzania Investment Authority to witness the progress of the project. The visit is part of the testimonials given during the implementation of the National Inward Investment Promotion Campaign underway in the country.

Speaking during the visit, the Director General of the project, Dr. Jesca Kabelwa, said that so far the project has employed 55 workers, most of whom are Tanzanians. He explained that the project was officially registered in 2024 and began production in January 2026.

Dr. Jesca Kabalwa added that collaboration with the Investment Authority has made it easier to implement the project, especially through obtaining capital relief using investment incentives provided by the Government.

In addition, he said that small farmers in Shinyanga Region are directly benefiting from the project, as the factory has been purchasing rice from them, a move that contributes to increasing farmers' income and bringing about sustainable development in the agricultural sector in the region.
