Catalysing Agricultural Transformation Through Collaboration
At the AGCOT Centre (formerly SAGCOT Centre Ltd.), partnerships are the heartbeat of our mission to revolutionise Tanzania’s agriculture. As the government’s national vehicle for agricultural transformation, AGCOT operates as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP)—mobilising resources, coordinating efforts, and aligning diverse stakeholders toward building inclusive, sustainable, and commercially viable agricultural value chains across the country.
A National Platform for Prosperity
AGCOT’s partnership model builds on the success of the SAGCOT initiative, now scaled nationally through corridor-based management structures. Following the 2025–2030 strategy, AGCOT expanded beyond the Southern Corridor into the Northern, Central, and Mtwara Corridors, officially launched in April 2025 in Dodoma. Our corridor and cluster-based approach empowers localized, investment-driven agricultural ecosystems with national impact.
