TLDR
- Speaking at the ongoing Nane Nane agricultural exhibitions in Dodoma, Mr Mmari said Yas had invested in more than 4,900 4G and 5G sites across Tanzania, extending mobile connectivity to different parts of the country.
- Yas Acting Head for the Central Zone, Mr Richard Mmari, said the expansion of mobile connectivity, particularly in rural areas, had made it easier for farmers to access information that could influence decisions on what.
- However, he noted that connectivity alone was not enough if farmers lacked devices that enabled them to make full use of digital services.
- Mr Mmari said Yas would continue to expand and improve its services, particularly in rural areas, as more farmers embraced technology to access information, markets and other opportunities within the digital economy.
