Many people participate in wealth production in our country. Tanzania is endowed with many
resources. It has fertile land and favourable climate. However, labour is needed in order to benefit
from these favourable factors. In our country labour sources include; peasants, small scale
farmers, livestock keepers, traders, workers in crafts, and industrial workers in general. Most of
working force is employed in agriculture about 75-80 percent of Tanzania working force is
employed in agriculture. This is because our agriculture is not mechanized. The majority of
agricultural producers in our country are peasants. They still use simple tools such as hoes.
In addition to farming, our country is rich in livestock consist of cattle, goats, sheep, poultry and
pigs. Livestock keepers provide Tanzania with meat, milk and eggs which are very important a
source of protein. They are also source of government revenue, for example hides and skins are
exported to earn foreign currency. They are also used locally in making shoes for people.
Another important activity and source of employment and income is fishing. Much labour is
used in fishing especially for those living near lakes and oceans. Unfortunately, the fish industry
is seriously affected by lack of experts and efficient modern fishing technology. Some fishermen
use dangerous and destructive methods such as explosive in fishing.
