Mining chemical imports soar as GCLA bolsters regional trade
The modernization and improvement of the Tanga and Dar es Salaam ports have attracted a surge in the importation and trade of strategic chemicals used in the mining sector, both in Tanzania and neighbouring countries.
Chemicals such as ammonium nitrate, sulphur, and sodium cyanide, which are essential in mineral extraction and processing, have seen sharp increases in demand across Tanzania, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The revelation was made on Thursday, July 10, 2022, by the Government Chemist Laboratory Authority (GCLA) during a press briefing involving senior journalists from different media organisations in the country.
