title = {Availability of financial support for the young generation in commercial farming: legal incentives},
year = {2021},
note = {This paper critically examines the access to financial resources by
the Tanzanian young men and women for commercial farming purposes. The
main aim of this endeavour is to recommend the type of effective legal
incentives that are needed in order to boost access to those resources
by that said population group. The thesis of this work is that
effective youth-centred legal incentives will simplify availability of
financial support to the young generation hence increasing the number
of young people engaging in commercial farming in Tanzania. The paper
begins with highlighting the context of young people’s engagement in
commercial farming in Tanzania, followed by the Tanzania’s vision on
agriculture. Thereafter, the paper looks at an overview of the efforts
made to attract the young generation into agribusiness. That part is
followed by an examination of factors that prevent young people from
fully engaging in commercial farming, with an emphasis on the question
of availability of financial support. At that point, the paper
expounds how lack of funds is a major obstacle that stands between the
Tanzanian young generation and their dream of economic sustainability
through commercial agriculture. Finally, the paper discusses the types
of legal incentives that are needed so as to make financial support
for agribusiness easily accessible to the young generation.},
