Malting news Tanzania: Tanzania Breweries announces investment in new malting plant in Moshi

Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL) has announced a Sh96 billion (USD40 mln) investment in its flagship Kilimanjaro Malting Plant that is being built in Moshi, The Citizen reported on June 7.

The plant will boost the agricultural sector, improving the livelihoods of farmers by scaling up local purchases of barley from 5,000 tonnes to 12,000 tonnes and then 32,000 tonnes over five years once completed.

Furthermore, TBL’s investment in the opening of this plant in March 2024 will benefit brewers and manufacturers, thus boosting Tanzania’s economy. The construction phase of the megaproject will provide direct employment to around 70 people, 80 percent of them Tanzanians, and is set to create direct and indirect jobs for many others once it is fully operational.

The project is expected to be implemented in two phases: phase one between 2023 and 2024, and phase two between 2024 and 2025. Phase one begins with an initial investment of $10.5 million for the production of 12000 metric tonnes and aims to boost local production capacity at the farmer level through capacity building, seed variety testing, and the initial construction and upgrading of the malting facility.

The second phase of the project will scale up the project's construction to 16000 tonnes of capacity with a total investment of $6.3 million, which will complete the project and get the plant ready for the utilization of the excise code on locally malted barley.

TBL’s Country Director, Jose Moran, said: "The total capital expenditure in the revamping of the Kilimanjaro Malting Plant is expected to be Sh96 billion, with Sh42 billion injected in the first phase. Overall, through this investment, the plant will broaden the contribution of manufacturing and local agriculture to the economy of Tanzania."

This investment could not have been made possible without the government’s support in creating an enabling environment; as such, it aligns with the government’s priorities, including the boosting of agricultural production, the support of local manufacturing, employment and sustainable livelihoods, and the expansion of trade.

In helping to realise this goal, Minister for Agriculture, Mr Hussein Mohamed Bashe, said: "We continue to play our role in supporting TBL in several ways, including promoting value addition, which entails the processing of agricultural products in order to increase their market value and create new manufacturing opportunities. For example, the Ministry is working with farmers to improve their harvesting and storage techniques and promote the establishment of agro-processing industries."

Deputy Minister for Investment, Trade, and Industry, Hon. Exaud Kigahe, added that "measures taken by the government to reduce the cost of doing business are making it more attractive for companies to set up manufacturing operations in Tanzania, and by doing so, Tanzania can boost its economic growth, create jobs, and improve its trade balances."

The presence of other government officials such as Hon. David Kihenzile, the Chairman of the Industries, Trade, Agriculture, and Livestock Parliament Committee, who reiterated the government’s pro-business approach, and Hon. Daniel Sillo, the Chairman of the Parliament Budget Committee, also helped solidify the government’s stance in supporting business growth in Tanzania.

The Kilimanjaro Malting Plant is expected to inject an additional Sh226 billion into the revenue of Tanzania through an expanded value chain across agriculture, malting, brewing, packaging, distribution, logistics, and retail, in addition to the construction of the malting facility.

Moran shared his hopes for this venture, saying, "We firmly believe in Tanzania and its potential for further growth. As the biggest taxpayer, being able to continue to invest in the country creates a win-win situation for everyone. With this investment, TBL is once again showing its commitment to the expansion of industry, manufacturing, agriculture, and a future with more cheers."
