Welcome to TFS-Tree Seed Production

We live in a time when websites have become part of our everyday lives, replacing newspapers and books, and offering users a whole range of new opportunities. You probably visit this web site for the first time; I invite you to look at our website designed to present online information on the Tanzania Forest Services Agency(TFS)-Tree Seed Production.

The history of TFS-Tree Seed Production dates back in 1970s when the government launched national tree planting campaigns to rehabilitate degraded environments. This created high demand of tree seeds of local and introduced species for various end uses. The government recognized the seriousness of the situation and this led to the establishment of the National Tree Seed Programme (NTSP) under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism in 1989

Following the government reforms, National Tree Seed Programme (NTSP) was transformed into Tanzania Tree Seed Agency (TTSA) which was established on 24th January 2016 with the purpose of enhancing sustainable supply of forest products and environmental conservation by producing, procuring and marketing high quality tree seeds and other propagating materials.Later in 2018 Tanzania Tree Seed Agency (TTSA) was transformed to TFS-Tree Seed Production following the reforms that merged activities previously performed by former TFS and TTSA.Read More
