It was made possible thanks to the government of the United Republic of Tanzania. The Minister declared that this significant opportunity was due thanks to the request made by the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Dr. John Pombe Magufuli and delivered to the Israeli government.

With this in mind, Minister Hasunga met with Mr. Yaron Tamir, CEO of Agrostudies, to implement and develop this project.

At the ICC (Jerusalem International Conventional Center), Hon. Min. Japhet Hasunga congratulated the young men and women for their graduation and promised that the Tanzanian government led by President Dr. John Pombe Magufuli was committed to improving the land and environment, so they had the full potential to use the know-how they had acquired to dynamise the Tanzanian agricultural sector.

Since the arrival of Amb. Job Masima on June 15th, 2017 and later, with the official opening of the Tanzania Embassy in Israel on May 8th, 2018, the cooperation between the two countries reinforced itself in many fields and, in the agricultural domain, allowed Tanzanians to get the most advanced and innovative practices impled in Israel.
