ABSTRACT
A study was conducted in Urambo District from mid 2009 to mid 2010 to identify challenges to production of mango; assess the contribution of mango to the HH income and to compare the net income between the producers and traders. Secondary data were collected from District Council Offices, SNAL and internet. Purposive sampling was used to select 10 villages based on potential for mango production. A random sample of 260 mango producers and 40 traders who sell mangoes at the markets of Urambo, Tabora and Dodoma were selected for interview. The cross sectional data were collected analysed descriptively and hypotheses tested. Results show that challenges facing mango industry include poor unreliable markets, lack of fruit processing, poor credit, absence of commercial varieties, pests and diseases and poor transportation. Regression of socio-economic variables on mango income showed that mango production experience, mango trees owned and land size significantly add to mango income (P
