JKT stamps authority at the Nane Nane Exhibition in modern farming, livestock keeping, fishing
DODOMA: THE National Service Unit (JKT) has reaffirmed its commitment to using agricultural exhibitions to equip Tanzanians with practical knowledge on modern farming, livestock keeping and fishing.
SUMA JKT’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Major General Rajabu Mabele said the exhibitions provide an important platform for the organisation and other institutions to educate the public on improved agricultural practices and ways of increasing productivity from limited resources.
He said JKT would continue participating in agricultural exhibitions beyond the current Nane Nane Exhibitions to ensure that Tanzanians have access to practical knowledge and expertise that can improve their livelihoods.
“The major part of our participation is to continue educating Tanzanians on how they can practise better farming, improve livestock keeping and undertake fishing activities professionally,” Major General Mabele said.
He said JKT uses its experts, alongside public servants serving within the organisation, to provide agricultural education and demonstrate various products produced by young people undergoing national service.
Major General Mabele urged residents of Dodoma and neighbouring regions attending the Nane Nane Agriculture Exhibitions to visit JKT pavilion to learn about the activities undertaken by young people during their national service.

“Our young people are engaged in different productive activities while in JKT, and these exhibitions provide an opportunity for Tanzanians to see what they are doing and the products they produce,” he said.
He added that JKT is participating in Nanenane exhibitions in different parts of the country, including the Ngongo grounds, Mbeya’s Kagera grounds and Bariadi, among other locations.
According to Major General Mabele, one of the key areas of focus is demonstrating how people can generate meaningful economic benefits from farming even when operating on relatively small pieces of land.
He said the exhibitions therefore provide an opportunity for Tanzanians to access knowledge that can help them improve productivity and make better use of available resources.
