| Abstract: | The purpose of this note is to illustrate both the expansion and the dirversification of Tanzania's manufacturing sector by reporting on the establishment of two major industries in the Dar es Salaam area each the first of its kind in Tanzania. The most impressive addition to Dar's industrial scene is the L.5 million oil refinery located at Kiggmboni. Owned by TIPER (the Tanganyika add Italian Petroleum Refining Company Limited), a joint venture between the government of Tanzania and the Italian state-owned ENI, the refinery began operations in June 1966 and reached full production in October. With the beginning of production at the Tanganyika Portland Cement Company's new plant near Dar es Salaam in September 1966, Tanzania became largely self-sufficient in yet another commodity. The factory is located at Wazo Hill, northwest of the capital on the Bagamoyo road. |
