Nane Nane’ day is a day where the contribution of Tanzania farmers to the Tanzanian economy is celebrated annually in different cities within our country including Tanzania. It is also referred an agricultural exhibition, a one-week fair that takes place every year from 1st day of August to 8th or 9th August.
Different stakeholders are always invited to attend from private sectors, public sectors and individual at large showcasing new technologies, ideas, discoveries and alternative solutions concerning agricultural sector. This year, it was celebrated Nationally in Mbeya City. The event attracts thousands of people with different interests, problems, achievements and prospects. In this case they learn new issues or related to agriculture or no agricultural issues.
In 2023 theme for Nane Nane Day was “Youth and Women are the Firm Foundation of Sustainable Food Systems” the compelling call to action that underlies the pressing need to engage youth and women in a journey towards sustainable agriculture. Indeed it was a good development for agriculture which has been the bane for Tanzania youth in the past decades who have been migrating to urban centers seeking for employment, but finally ending up as street vendors.
