The objectives of this research are to asses the relative importance of aggregate supply and demand factors in influencing the agricultural export performance in Tanzania, to analyse the effects different trade regimes may have on the export performance and to suggest both domestic production and export policies that could lead to an improvement in export performance. Improving the agricultural export performance in Tanzania is important as increased export earnings can lead to increased national income and provide foreign exchange for the import needs of the domestic economy. In this study export performance of the sector, over the period 1962 to 1992, is measured in terms of real export growth rate and a time series regression model is applied in the analysis. |
