Tanzania is a presidential constitutional republic, and since 1996, its official capital has been Dodoma, where the President’s Office, the National Assembly, and some government ministries are located.

Dar es Salaam, the former capital, retains most government offices and is the country’s largest city, its principal port, and its leading commercial center.

The United Republic of Tanzania is the second largest economy in the East African Community and the twelfth largest in Africa.

Tanzania Agriculture

Agricultural trade drives Tanzania’s economy

The country is largely dependent on agriculture for employment, accounting for about half of the employed workforce.  An estimated 34 percent of Tanzanians currently live in poverty.

The economy has been transitioning from a command economy to a market economy since 1985. Although total GDP has increased since these reforms began, GDP per capita dropped sharply at first, and only exceeded the per-transition figure in around 2007.
