Transport Market Overview

The road transport market is mainly composed by small and medium scale companies. Over the last years, the transport of cargo in Tanzania has shown an important increase, particularly through Dar es Salaam port, the Zambia border (Tunduma) and the Kenya border (Horo Horo). This situation has increased the pressure on the road transporters which already were facing a number of challenges.

The Tanzania Truck Owners Association-TATOA is a voluntary business Association of Truck Owners involved in the cargo freighting business in and outside of Tanzania. It focuses on transit transportation trade facilitation within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and Great Lakes region, encompassing DRC (Katanga, North & South Kivu Provinces), Zambia, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, and South Sudan. TATOA includes 962 committed members. (TATOA.co.tz)
