Tullah Mloge: Why Tanzania's Poultry Future Depends on What Farmers Grow, Not Just What They Rear

"Feed First: AGCOT's Tullah Mloge Tells Africa Agri Expo Why Tanzania's Poultry Future Depends on What Farmers Grow, Not Just What They Rear" Speaking on Thursday, 3rd September 2026, on behalf of AGCOT Centre at the 10th Africa Agri Expo & 3rd Future Food Livestock and Poultry Expo in Dar es Salaam, Tullah Mloge, AGCOT's Head of Partnerships and Communication, told delegates that Tanzania's poultry sector - already a livelihood for 3.7 million farming households - cannot be built in isolation from the maize and soybean value chains that feed it. With Africa producing just 5.3% of global poultry output despite surging demand, Mloge outlined how AGCOT's "partnership before project" model, and its 2022 Poultry Compact, are laying the groundwork for Tanzania's new National Poultry Development Strategy, which targets over 380,000 tonnes of poultry meat and 17 billion eggs a year by 2036. #AGCOT #AfricaAgriExpo2026 #PoultryTanzania #AgriTransformation #PartnershipBeforeProject
