      abstract = {Tanzania  has  been  food  self-sufficient  in  staples   such  as maize  and  rice  in  normal  years.  However,   reoccurring draughts  in  cycles  of  about  7-10  years   have  resulted  in  occasional food shortages. In recent  years, the predictability of  food  availability  has   become  more  complex  because  of climate   change    leading   to   draughts   and   floods,   often  associated  with El Nino and La Nina, respectively. Also, as markets  become more regionally integrate d (through EAC or   SADC),    price   shocks   arising   from   food   deficit   in  neighboring  countries  could  be  transmitted  to   Tanzanian  markets. The Government of Tanzania has been  responding to food price increase by releasing food stocks  from National Food Reserve Agency (NFRA) or by restricting  food trade. },
