Trade prospects for Tanzania in the East African co-operation

Abstract

The revival of the East African Community which has taken the form of the formation of the East African Co-operation has rekindled hopes for increased economic co-operation between the three EA countries, i.e Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania once dashed when the EA Community collapsed in 1977. There are sector like tourism and mining which offer substantial trade prospects for Tanzania in the new co-operation set up. The private sector in Tanzania has to take the lead to ensure that the exiting trade potential on the new EA Co-operation are realized One way to ensure that it is to conduct studies that would show which products and commodities that are produced in Tanzania can 'break' into the larger EA market.
