Smallholder cotton production in Tanzania emerging issues on accountability in Kilosa district, Morogoro
Abstract
This paper discusses emerging accountability issues on the part of the government and other service providing institutions as far as cotton production in Kilosa District and more specifically in Malui Village is concerned. Data were collected through interview, observations and documentation. Findings show that limited access of smallholder to sufficient and fertile land, appropriate farm inputs and reliable markets due to lack of effective accountability on the part of local government, cotton board, cooperative and private traders has been among the responsible factors for the declining production of cotton.
