The story of The Tanganyika Farmers' Association Limited (TFA) is closely tied to the history of Tanzania. TFA has been one of the major stakeholders and most effective players within the agricultural sector in Tanzania since it commenced operations in the then Tanganyika, in 1935. TFA has more than 4,800 members representing a cross-section of the Tanzanian farming community. From small landholders to large commercial farmers, from villagers' to government farms, from family owned farms to co-operative societies, TFA truly represents Tanzania's farmers and their communities.
