Under the umbrella of the 50×2030 Initiative to Close the Agricultural Data Gap, FAO collaborates with the Tanzania National Bureau of Statistics (TNBS) and the Office of the Chief Government Statistician in Zanzibar (OCGS) to implement the national annual agricultural sample survey (AASS). FAO provides technical support for the design and implementation of four annual agricultural surveys from 2023 to 2026 to generate timely, high-quality agricultural data. Through the Initiative, the country will strengthen its national statistics system, improve the use of survey data in policymaking and enhance the capacity of key data users to optimize evidence-based decisions. This brief analyses the data of the agricultural season 2022/23, providing key insights on farming in the United Republic of Tanzania. It presents indicators on agricultural land and holding size, crop output and income, farm input use and the participation of women in agriculture.
