MOSHI — The European Commission in Tanzania has handed seven vehicles worth over US$350,000 to Lyamungu-based Tanzania Coffee Research Institute (TaCRI).
TaCRI board chairman, Mr Vedasto Ngaiza, said the Nissan double cabin vehicles would be used in the coffee green revolution.
Mr Ngaiza hailed the European Union (EU) for contributing 43 per cent of the TaCRI budget, noting that the donated vehicles would be used in implementation of a project dubbed Action Programme aimed at increasing the competitiveness of smallholder coffee growers in Tanzania.
The chairman said the programme was financed by the European Development Fund geared toward coffee crop enhancement.
