 Tanzania eyes export, industrial growth from China's zero-tariff policy

The remarks were made during a meeting themed "Zero-Tariff for Shared Opportunities" held for Tanzanian exporters in the port city of Dar es Salaam.


Tanzanian Minister of Industry and Trade Judith Kapinga said the initiative comes at a crucial time as Tanzania strengthens its position in regional and international trade through economic diplomacy and industrial reforms.


Kapinga said China remains one of Tanzania's most strategic trade and investment partners, with bilateral cooperation spanning infrastructure, manufacturing, agriculture, mining and tourism.


The minister called on the private sector to improve product quality and invest in value addition, innovation and branding to increase competitiveness in China and global markets.


Bilateral trade between China and Tanzania reached 11.28 billion U.S. dollars in 2025, a 27 percent increase year on year, while trade in the first quarter of 2026 rose by 28.1 percent to 2.905 billion dollars, Chen said.
