Investors are eyeing on Tunduru massif miombo woodlands

During a recent visit by Nordic investors, who visited Tunduru district, it was interesting for them to indicate possibility on investing in the region. Located in the southern part of Tanzania, at the border with Mozambique, the district is part of the Ruvuma landscape vested with abundant natural resources; miombo forests, wildlife and elephant corridors, rivers with all the fishes, and of course minerals of all kinds including uranium, nickel and copper.  
The Nordic group had 2 days visit in Tunduru to interact with communities who are managing forest resources and sharing possibilities of  investing in locally controlled forests. Opportunities and challenges were identified and analyzed, but it was good to observe the high level of interests to invest in Tunduru. With the upcoming developments in infrastructural sectors such as improvement of roads, railways and ports, this will promote sustainable development and improve the livelihoods of the people in the south.
