Abstract:After briefly reviewing the nature of the current food supply problem in Tanzania, the author traces food consumption patterns, food purchasing power and supply crises in Dar es Salaam over a hundred years (1866-1984) since the city's inception to the present, and discusses the role of consumer food subsidies as a means of addressing lack of food purchasing power and urban food crises. - Fig., notes, tab.
