Gold, tobacco, and agricultural exports
Tanzania's export economy is increasingly anchored by gold, which alone accounts for nearly half of all shipments, routed largely through South Africa and the UAE. A broad circle of buyers led by South Africa, the UAE, and India absorbs most of this trade, with tobacco, coffee, and cashews providing a more diversified agricultural base. Businesses can find opportunities by targeting buyers seeking reliable tobacco, coffee, and agricultural supply from Tanzania beyond the dominant gold trade.
