THE Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) has stated that it is committed to being a dependable and affordable grain transportation option for international markets. The comments were made by TPA’s manager of communications and public relations, Nicodemus Mushi, yesterday while speaking to reporters at the recently concluded Nanenane Farmers’ Exhibition. Mushi emphasized that the Central Corridor and the Dar es Salaam Corridor are the two main transportation corridors that connect TPA’s ports.
“We have TPA centers in multiple countries, such as Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Malawi, Comoros, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Zambia,” Mushi added. There has been a lot of interest in the TPA pavilion, and many people are keen to find out more about the opportunities and services that TPA offers. Mushi observed that the services provided by TPA and the courses that Bandari College in Dar es Salaam offered piqued the interest of the guests.
“Our courses are distinctive and competitive in local and international employment markets. Our college’s graduates can find employment at ports on lakes or in the oceans, he continued. He emphasized that TPA is grateful for the show because ports are essential to farmers and their representatives in getting their products to foreign markets. Kamlesh Asawla, Director of Premium Agro-Chem, praised TPA at the TPA pavilion for its innovations and the noteworthy refurbishment and redevelopment of Dar es Salaam Port.
Asawla emphasized that since 1994, his business has been importing and exporting goods through the port. He highlighted the importance of the festival to the company by mentioning that, at the time of his visit, the company had a cargo ship carrying 10,000 tonnes of fertiliser waiting to be offloaded at Dar es Salaam Port.
