Tanzania maize (Zea mays) or mahindi in Swahili is the most common cereal in this East African country. It is a proud staple especially in the milled form that makes the famous ugali or sima meal. It occupies about 45 percent of the cultivated acreage in Tanzania. Approximately 3.5 million households in the country grow the staple for chief subsistence while 85 percent of the population consumes it in different forms daily. The state is the biggest grower of the crop in the region and often supplies neighbors like Kenya and Uganda during times of deficit in the respective nations. The historical basis of maize began in Mexico about 10000 years ago. It not only features as one of the earliest crops to be domesticated but also appears in recent cultures such as Mayan as a religious symbol.

The range of vitamins includes folate which comes at 11 percent of the daily requirements. The vitamin C margin is 8 percent per serving, essential for providing substantial protection against disease. The thiamine margin is also relatively high at 13 percent of the daily value.
We export Tanzania maize to Kenya in East Africa, France, German, China, Nethland. Our sources grow their cereal on patches of land that are less than two acres in extent. They use farmyard manure and do not apply pesticides on their farms to reduce harmful effects.
Our packages of Tanzania maize come in 50-kilo capacities. We use commercial sacks made of natural and synthetic materials including sisal and plastic as well as nylon. We include film linings in all our synthetic bags as the sisal ones have natural aeration. We feature produce labels in the final packages inclusive of the packing date, the net weight and the country of origin.
Our storage parameters for Tanzania maize are similar to those in traditional granaries at room temperature. We maintain 25 degrees Celsius while the moisture level stays at less than 14 percent. This careful combination keeps out the probability of aflatoxin or mold formation.
We also transport Tanzania maize at the same temperature range to the airport in Arusha or Dar-es-Salaam via our special trucks. We also use shipping means from the port in Dar-es-Salaam. This means that the consignment will reach your destination in a day or two after dispatch.
