Tanzania

Tanzania has one of East Africa's larger economies, growing steadily on the strength of agriculture, mining, and tourism, with significant recent natural-gas discoveries offshore.

A relatively stable country, it has invested in infrastructure and aims to industrialize, though much of the population remains in subsistence farming.

Key Sectors

Key sectors include agriculture (the largest employer — coffee, cashews, cotton), gold mining (Tanzania is a major African producer), tourism built on the Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar, and emerging natural gas.
