Kupitia ushirikiano wa kimkakati, tunaendelea kutafuta suluhisho litakalosaidia kuongeza thamani ya zao la mwani, kuimarisha ubora wa bidhaa, kupanua masoko ya ndani na kimataifa, na hatimaye kuongeza kipato na ustawi wa wakulima wa mwani, hususan wanawake na vijana.

Afisa Mtendaji Mkuu wetu, Bi. Rehema A. Tukai, amepata fursa ya kufanya mazungumzo na Afisa Mtendaji Mkuu wa Alga Seaweed Limited kutoka Uingereza, Bi. Anne Hollier Ruddy, pamoja na ujumbe wake, kuhusu fursa za kuimarisha mnyororo wa thamani wa zao la mwani Zanzibar.

Mazungumzo hayo yalijikita katika changamoto zinazoikabili sekta ya mwani, ikiwemo uongezaji mdogo wa thamani, upatikanaji wa masoko yenye ushindani, na matumizi hafifu ya tafiti na ubunifu katika maendeleo ya bidhaa zinazotokana na mwani.
