From SAGCOT to AGCOT: A Decade of Impact and a Vision for the Future
The Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania Initiative (SAGCOT) was established as a public-private partnership spanning from 2010 to 2030. Rooted in the Kilimo Kwanza (Agriculture First) Vision presented by H.E. President Jakaya Kikwete in 2011, SAGCOT has significantly contributed to the transformation of agriculture in the Southern Highlands, accounting for over 65 percent of Tanzania’s food production to date.
The SAGCOT Centre was established to coordinate the efforts of the government, businesses, development partners, civil society organizations, and the farming community, successfully mobilizing resources and aligning efforts towards agricultural transformation. Having achieved many of its key 2030 objectives ahead of schedule, SAGCOT was called upon to broaden its scope.
Responding to widespread demand from stakeholders in other agricultural regions, H.E. President Samia Suluhu Hassan directed SAGCOT on March 17, 2023, to expand its efforts nationwide. This directive led to the evolution of SAGCOT into the Agricultural Growth Corridors of Tanzania (AGCOT).
