19th East Africa (Tanzania) International Building Exhibition (BUILDEXPO AFRICA)

Event Background

Tanzania is located in East Africa, south of the equator, bordering the Indian Ocean to the east and numerous neighboring countries. Tanzania is rich in mineral resources. The main explored mineral reserves are: 2.5 million tons of diamond (6.5 carats/ton), 800,000 tons of gold, 324 million tons of coal, 130 million tons of iron, 10 million tons of phosphate, and 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas. The forest and land area is about 44 million hectares, accounting for 45% of the country's land area, producing African rosewood, ebony, mahogany, and Castanopsis. However, Tanzania's industrial production technology is backward, and many industrial products rely on imports.

China and Tanzania's economic and trade cooperation has developed rapidly. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1964, they have maintained good trade relations. In recent years, economic and trade exchanges have become increasingly close. Currently, more than 40 companies are undertaking labor contracting projects in Tanzania. Chinese companies have accumulated more than US$200 million in direct investment in Tanzania. Investment fields have expanded from construction, textiles, and transportation to agriculture, pharmaceuticals, mineral development, and daily necessities production. The two sides have also cooperated to build a large number of infrastructure projects in Tanzania, including roads, bridges, power, and water supply. China's main exports include machinery and equipment, electronic products, textile raw materials and textiles, transportation equipment, base metals, chemical products, mineral products, and daily necessities, while its main imports include mineral products, base metals, plant products, timber, animal products, sisal fiber, plastics, rubber, raw hides, and seafood. In addition to continuing to promote the development of the mining industry, the Tanzanian government is also striving to change its import and export industrial structure, vigorously developing infrastructure, actively attracting foreign investment, stimulating economic development, continuously improving the trade environment, and expanding its international reputation.
