COTTON IN TANZANIA

This book is a very powerful description of Tanzanian cotton. Written in a matter of fact way, against the background of the global and historical overviews, the book is an allegory of Tanzanian cotton and a true testimony of the behind- the- scenes actions and strategies in the development of the crop over more than a century. The account is hard to fault, having been written by an iconic professional in the Tanzania cotton industry; having literally grown in the cotton industry- spanning a period of more than 30 years, first as a distinctive cotton researcher who steadfastly rose and ultimately attained the highest position of Chief Executive Officer of Tanzania Cotton Board.” - Raphael Nkuli Mlolwa, Chairman, Tanzania Cotton Board (2000-2006), a Senior Economist and former Economic Advisor to President Benjamin Mkapa. We recommend it as a resource book to all cotton stakeholders, research scientists, Crop Boards, Universities, policy makers and students in higher learning institutions.
