She grows more, owns less

Millions of women in Tanzania perform the majority of the nation's agricultural labor, including planting, weeding, and harvesting crops for both family consumption and local markets. Despite this significant contribution to the country's food supply, these women frequently face systemic barriers to land ownership and earn lower incomes from their agricultural work compared to their male counterparts.

This disparity highlights a persistent challenge regarding gender equity in the Tanzanian agricultural sector. While women serve as the primary workforce on many farms, they remain disproportionately disadvantaged in terms of property rights and financial compensation for their labor.
