3 Tanzania Logistics Services
The urban areas, such as Dar es Salaam, Dodoma and Arusha, have a well-developed availability of services and supply. The available products and services are relatively diversified and different level of quality can be found in the market. For their part, rural areas have limited access to a variety of goods and services, even if an improvement is noticed due to the transport network development. Indeed, the recent investments in the transport network infrastructure allow a better connectivity between the markets and the remote areas.
Tanzania, United Republic of - 3.1 Fuel
Fuel Overview
The Zanzibar Utilities Regulatory Authority (ZURA) is responsible under the Energy and Water Utilities Act No. 7 of 2013 to oversee and regulate the Energy and Water sectors, ZURA has the duty to regulate these sectors both technically and economically. The sub-sectors regulated by the Authority include Oil, Liquefied Petroleum Gas, Electricity, and Water. The Authority is responsible for ensuring that the services provided are available at adequate standards, at fair prices, safely and reliably, and that service providers receive fair returns on their investments
In October 2021, the Authority on behalf of the Government implemented changes in the country's fuel importation system, transitioning from multiple importers to the establishment of a Bulk Procurement System (BPS). Currently, oil is imported into the country through the awarded company GBP TANZANIA LIMITED in Tanzania. The imported products include gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, and kerosene. The annual volume of oil imported into Zanzibar is approximately 180,000 metric tons with a variance of +/- 20%.
Currently Oil imported into Zanzibar is collected from the ports of Tanga and/or Dar es Salaam by GBP TANZANIA LIMITED. They then distribute the oil to Zanzibar's oil companies, which include GAPCO, PUMA, and Zanzibar Petroleum (ZP) located at Mtoni port Unguja, United Petroleum (UP) located at Mangapwani Port Unguja. These companies receive their oil from the supplier after submitting their required quantity orders for the respective timeframes.
The oil storage facility in Mtoni has a capacity to store up to 16,487,039 liters and 21,000,000 at Mangapwani depot liters of oil for all products, On the other hand, in Pemba, the Wesha depot in Pemba has a total capacity of 2,013,000 liters. However, the average actual consumption of oil required is 15,000,000 liters per month. These requirements can increase to 17,000,000 liters per month during periods of higher demand.

Information may also be found at: http://www.mytravelcost.com/petrol-prices/ which is updated monthly.
Fuel Pricing
ZURA has developed Petroleum Products Price Setting Rules which provide a pricing formula for computing the petroleum products' prices. The formula is composed by:
FOB price – It is computed based on the weighted average FOB price of vessels that discharged fuel in a given month. The weighted average FOB price of each product is computed separately. The price of the products for each cargo is based on the monthly average price of the products as published by Platts. Premiums are determined based on the results of supply tenders floated every month. Local charges are fixed in the formula based on various legal provisions that impose a charge in importation or in doing business in the petroleum sub-sector. They also include some variable business costs that have been identified and approved by EWURA as prudent costs. Margins to wholesalers and retailers to cover operations cost and a return on investment.

For large customers who buy fuel directly from the OMC, the OMC arranges to deliver the products to the client accordingly to the agreement between the two parties.
Standards, Quality and Testing
At 15 degrees centigrade, the petrol must have a density between 720-780 Kg/m3, a minimal motor octane number of 83, and maximum sulphur content of 0.015%.
At 15 degrees centigrade, diesel must have a density between 820-870 Kg/m3, a minimum cetane index of 48, and a maximum sulphur content of 0.05%.
At 15 degrees centigrade, kerosene must have a density between 776-840 Kg/m3 and a maximum of sulphur content of 0.15%.
The quality of fuel is checked by Zanzibar Bureau of standards (ZBS) on arrival of a fuel vessel at the port. In addition, ZURA carries out regular checks of fuel quality at the depots and petrol stations.

Tanzania, United Republic of - 3.2 Transporters
Overview
The Tanzanian Road transport market is a critical component of the country's economy, accounting for over 8% of GDP. The sector is dominated by trucking, which accounts for over 75% of all freight traffic. The passenger transport sector is also important, with over 90% of all passenger journeys made by road. The demand for freight transport is increasing in Tanzania, driven by economic growth and trade liberalization across the East African Community (EAC). This is creating opportunities for trucking companies and logistics providers. The Tanzanian government is investing heavily in road infrastructure, with a focus on upgrading existing roads and constructing new ones. This is improving road connectivity and reducing transportation costs. The road transport sector in Tanzania is slowly adopting technology, such as GPS tracking and fleet management systems. This is improving efficiency and safety. Transportation costs in Tanzania are relatively high, due to factors such as fuel prices and road taxes. This can make it difficult for businesses to compete. The informal sector is prevalent in the Tanzanian road transport market, with many unlicensed operators competing with formal companies. This can lead to unfair competition and safety concerns.
In addition, Tanzania plays a pivotal role in connecting neighbouring landlocked countries with international markets, namely Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DR Congo, Zambia, Malawi and South Sudani. Transport routes from the Port of Dar es Salaam to these landlocked countries are vital for both import and export of goods. Tanzania is bordered by the Indian Ocean and the three largest African Great Lakes, namely Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Nyasa (Malawi). Due to Tanzania being so close to the equator and surrounded by such large bodies of water, the country is seasonally subjected to large masses of warm, humid tropical air, which can induce heavy rains and thunder storms. Floods are frequent and affect most regions of the country these are the main cause of transportation disruptions.

In urban areas of Tanzania, mobile users can access 3G services or higher, however, 5G is not yet commercially available in the country at present. Whereas approximately one-fifth of the nation's population, mainly residing in rural communities remain with access limited to 2G network coverage.
Mobile money in Tanzania has expanded from traditional payments like airtime recharge and domestic remittances to more sophisticated financial services. The National Payment Systems (NPS) Act 2015 of Tanzania is a crucial piece of legislation that establishes a comprehensive framework for regulating and overseeing payment systems in the country including the use of mobile money. The Act empowers the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) as the primary regulator of payment systems, granting it authority to license and supervise payment system operators, establish clearing and settlement mechanisms, and implement risk mitigation measures. It also outlines the requirements for electronic money issuance and operation, ensuring consumer protection and promoting innovation in digital payments. The National Payment Systems (Electronic Money Transactions Levy) (Amendment) Regulations, 2022 outlines chargeable rate for electronic money in Tanzania.

3.5 Tanzania Food and Additional Suppliers
At both regional and local scales, there are different vendors for food products, including maize grain, pulses (pigeon peas and beans), iodized salt and sorghum. Indeed, the agriculture in Eastern Africa is the principal economic sector. It is estimated that almost 70% of the regional population is relying on agriculture, and this sector absorbs a large proportion of the working population in the market (UN, NEPAD, 2013). However, the region is also subject to environmental effects which often affect the production, and the local market may be unable to meet the demand.
For non-food suppliers, the Tanzanian market is well-established, although it is mainly concentrated in the main cities. A large number of suppliers are offering a range of products and different quality levels.
Generic country information can be located from sources which are regularly maintained and reflect current facts and figures. For a general overview of the country data related to the service and supply sectors, please consult the following sources:

Tanzania, United Republic of - 3.5.1 Food Suppliers
Overview
The Tanzanian retail and wholesale food market is a large and growing sector, with an estimated value of US$15 billion in 2022. The market is dominated by informal retailers, such as street vendors and small shops, which account for an estimated 90% of all food sales. However, there is a growing trend towards formalization, with the emergence of supermarkets and hypermarkets in major cities. The formal retail sector is growing rapidly in Tanzania, driven by increasing urbanization and incomes. Supermarkets and hypermarkets are becoming increasingly popular, particularly among middle-class consumers. Demand for processed foods is rising in Tanzania, as consumers become more time-conscious and convenience-oriented. This is creating opportunities for manufacturers and retailers of processed food products. E-commerce is still in its early stages of development in Tanzania, but it is growing rapidly. This is creating new opportunities for retailers to reach consumers, particularly in urban areas.
The lack of adequate infrastructure in some areas, such as roads and cold storage facilities, is a major challenge for the retail and wholesale food market in Tanzania. This can lead to high transportation costs and food spoilage. Supply chain disruptions, such as droughts and floods, can have a significant impact on food prices and availability in Tanzania.
The retail and wholesale food market in Tanzania is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, driven by urbanization, population growth, and rising incomes. However, challenges such as infrastructure constraints and supply chain disruptions will need to be addressed in order to ensure that the market can continue to grow and meet the needs of the Tanzanian population.

ISPs providing internet on telephones, USB modems etc have 3G. Airtel claim to have 3.75G, the Airtel coverage is reliable and country-wide – the other suppliers are mostly within Dar Es Salaam.
Airtel bandwidth costs are 115Tza ($0.07c) per MB.
Sasatel and Tigo who provide similar services have not been found to offer a reliable service.
Internet for offices/homes is expensive and mostly provided through wireless connections by companies like Simbanet (who WFP use), Castsnet and Vizada. Bandwidth costs approx...$350 per month for dedicated512kbps.
TTCL also provides business/home links but vary in quality, WFP has used them as a backup link in Kigoma, however cancelled the contract due to poor connectivity.

Tanzania, United Republic of - 3.7 Waste Management and Recycling Infrastructure Assessment
Overview
Waste collection in Tanzania is primarily carried out by local government authorities, private companies, and communities. There is a mix of formal and informal waste collection methods, with the involvement of both public and private entities. Additionally, community-based waste management initiatives are encouraged to promote sustainable waste collection at the grassroots level.
The Environmental Management Act EMA 2004 provides for a legal and institutional framework for sustainable management of the environment, prevention and control pollution, waste management, environmental quality standards, public participation, environmental compliance and enforcement. Under the EMA 2004 the National Environment Management Council (NEMC) is mandated to undertake enforcement, compliance, review and monitoring of environmental impacts assessments, research, facilitate public participation in environmental decision-making, raise environmental awareness through the collection and disseminate environmental information. Further details can be found on NEMC website: NEMC
Waste management services in Tanzania are provided by a combination of government agencies and private companies. Local government authorities often play a significant role in waste collection, while private companies are involved in areas such as waste transportation, disposal, and recycling. Community-based organizations also contribute to waste collection in many areas sorting waste into categories for disposal and recycling, selling the recyclable plastic, metal, and electronic waste to commercial recycling plants. In Zanzibar the CBO removes approximately 2.5 tons of plastic waste from the waste stream per day and sells this to commercial recycling companies on the mainland, significantly reducing the annual volume to landfill and providing an income stream for the community.
Tanzania local authorities are responsible for designating disposal sites for waste. Landfills are managed by local government authorities and private companies. The status of these landfills may vary across regions, some landfill sites currently in operation may not be approved by the local authority and therefore may not comply with either the Environmental Management Act, 2004, or the National Environmental Policy, 1997.
There are recycling initiatives in place across the country operated by a mix of public and private entities many of which are supported by community-based organisations (CBO) who organise the collection and sorting of waste and sell the recyclable plastics, metal, and electronic waste to private recycling companies. The scale of recycling varies from region to region, some are large commercial operations producing high volumes of plastic items from recycled materials and some are small independent operations producing plastic pellets for sale to plastic manufacturing industry.

Hazardous Waste Disposal
The disposal of hazardous waste is regulated by Environmental Management Act EMA 2004 and audited by NEMC. Transportation of hazardous waste within Tanzania requires a permit granted by the Minister’s office and for export of hazardous waste a license is required accompanied by a permit issued by a competent authority of the receiving country. NEMC is also the authority for licensed disposal facilities for hazardous wastes, EMA 2004 places responsibility on the generator of hazardous waste for its disposal and shall be liable for any damage to human health or environment damage.
Growth of an information society is becoming a common phenomenon in many developing countries, including Tanzania. This has resulted in an increase of users of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE). The 2020 Electronic Communications Equipment Standards and E-Waste Management regulations, outlines the obligation of parties involved in managing electronic communication equipment end of life processes. Tanzania has 17 of the region’s 39 EEE recycling plants in the East Africa. Tanzania is a party to the Basel Convention on the Control of Trans-boundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal and Bamako Convention on the Ban of the Import into Africa and the Control of Trans-boundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes within Africa. The Minister of State – Environment at the Vice President’s Office has issued Guidelines For Management Of hazardous Waste to serve as a quick reference on hazardous waste management so as to improve their management in the country, these guidelines elaborate the legal requirements and administrative procedures for handling of importation, transportation and disposal of hazardous waste as provided in the Environmental Management (Hazardous Waste Control and Management) Regulations, 2009. To facilitate awareness and understanding of key stakeholders in effectively fulfilling their roles in achieving environmentally sound management of hazardous waste. Licencing for disposal or treatment of hazardous wastes are issued by the Director of Environment – Vice President’s Office or respective authority at regional level. The licence restricts hazardous waste treatment plant or disposal sites to at least one thousand (1,000) metres away from a residential or commercial area and from water sources.
Health Care Waste Management (HCWM) is regulated for in National Policy Guidelines For Health Care Waste Management In Tanzania 2017 the Ministry of Health is responsible for promoting a centralized biomedical waste treatment facilities and ensure an effective management of current health care waste disposal sites. Tanzania Medicines and Medical Devices Authority (TMDA) have a project in process to developing a large capacity incinerator in Dodoma for the destruction of medical waste and expired medications, the project was delayed due to issues with the planned site proximity to a water source. TDMA have indicated they have identified a new site and expect construction to begin in 2024.
The disposal of waste oil in Tanzania is regulated by the National Environmental Management Council (NEMC) under the Environmental Management (Hazardous Waste Control and Management) Regulations, 2009. These regulations prohibit the disposal of waste oil into water bodies, soil, or landfills. Instead, waste oil must be collected, transported, and treated by authorized hazardous waste management facilities. Some of the recycling companies visited during the LCA used waste motor oil as fuel for their furnaces to smelt glass, plastic, and biological waste for recycling.

Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal
More than 90 per cent of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Tanzania is believed to be disposed of in an unsatisfactory manner. Most of the MSW generated is disposed of in open and poorly operated dumpsites across the country, except for a few municipalities—including Arusha, Tanga, Mwanza, Mbeya, Dodoma, Kigoma and Mtwara—that have improved landfills (with lining and leachate collection system) constructed by the Tanzania Strategic Cities Project (TSCP). The management of biodegradable waste is challenging due to its perishable nature, its limited storage period, and its harmful impact when leeching out of landfills. However, it is also an area where significant improvements are possible by adoption of decentralized technologies such as composting and biomethanization. Some Municipal waste management sites have ongoing projects to generate biomass fuel for cleaner energy from a combination of blackwater and sawdust to make briquettes/charcoal for smokeless cooking.

The Assessment of Solid Waste Management Ecosystem in Tanzania report estimates “Urban areas in Tanzania are projected by 2030 to generate about 26 million tonnes of solid waste annually. To accommodate this amount of waste, about 10.6 × 107 cubic metres (m3) of landfill space is required; in terms of area approximately 200 hectares (about 494 acres) of land per year would be needed”.
In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's most populous city, the majority of households depend on community-based organizations (CBOs) for their solid waste collection. The collection frequency varies from one to three times a week, with residents obligated to pay refuse collection charges (RCC) to these CBOs for the services provided. However, around 10% of households opt for informal workers who collect waste more frequently at a lower cost compared to CBOs. Informal waste pickers gather the organic waste and low-value dry waste (such as plastic and paper) from households, discarding the non-saleable portion in drains or common areas after extracting items with market value. Consequently, only 40% of the waste reaches the landfill, while 60% is either burned at the household level, dumped on roadsides, drainage canals, sewers, or buried. The informal sector is responsible for collecting valuable dry waste, mainly plastic and metal and removing it from the waste stream for sale to recycling companies. Public awareness regarding sanitation and proper municipal solid waste (MSW) storage and disposal is lacking. Informal settlements and peri-urban areas, not under city or municipal council jurisdiction, commonly exhibit poor waste management practices.
The NEMC has also developed guidelines for the management of non-hazardous waste, which provide more detailed information on the processes, regulations, and procedures that should be followed. These guidelines cover topics such as waste characterization, waste minimization, waste treatment, and waste disposal.
In addition to the EMA and the NEMC guidelines, there are several other regulations and procedures that govern non-hazardous waste disposal in Tanzania. These include:
- The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHS Act ) of 2003, which sets standards for the protection of workers from workplace hazards, including exposure to non-hazardous waste.
- The Public Health Act (PHA)) of 1971, which regulates the disposal of waste in public places.
- The Local Government Act (LGA ) of 1992, which gives local governments the responsibility for managing waste within their jurisdictions.
