Tanzania strengthens its livestock sector through national growth and targeted projects, boosting economic development and food security. In 2025, livestock contributed 6.2% to GDP, with cattle, goats, sheep, poultry, and pigs increasing, and meat and milk production rising. The government also launched the five-year Build a Better Tomorrow project to train 200 youths annually in goat and sheep fattening, fodder cultivation, and livestock feed processing, expanding opportunities for employment and sustainable farming nationwide.
