A Research Report Submitted to school of business in partial fulfillment of the requirement for An Award of Master’s Degree in Business Administration (Corporate Management) of Mzumbe University The general objective of this study is to assess factors affecting crop board performance in Tanzania. A case cashew nuts board of Tanzania. The study had three objectives which were ; assessing financial availability affecting crop board performance in Tanzania ; finding out of the stakeholders coordination factors affecting cashew nuts crop board performance in Tanzanian policy and regulations factors affecting cashew nuts crop board performance in Tanzania. The study adopted case study design, the study‘s population was from CBT employees, cashew nuts famers and buyers. A sample size of 166 was recruited through the use of convenient sampling techniques. Data was collected through the use of questionnaires and interviews guide and schedule. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used in data analysis and presentation. It has been found that the central government remains to be the overall financer of CBT, however lack of fund availability is among the main factors that hinder CBT performance. Also, CBT has the role of setting indicative the price which have the effect on domestic prices as well export prices of the crop. However, the price calculations do not reflect the actual situation in the market. Moreover, CBT is the coordinator of cashew nuts farmers and buyers and all other stakeholders but the task is not effectively undertaken. Marketing of raw cashew nuts to external markets is largely monopolized by buyers. With regard to marketing of kernels individual processors are left without support to reach out to buyers, domestic and from abroad, and process, package and advertise final products adequately. Marketing of kernels therefore is still erratic, ad-hoc and unprofessional. The domestic and East African market may constitute a huge potential but there are shortcomings with regard to presentation and advertisement. The environment for doing business in the cashew value chain is not hostile but a complicated one. Processors and traders need to deal with a number of permits which they only get if they have access to the network of stakeholders. Outsiders may find it extremely difficult to engage and invest in the sector while those who know the sectors for years can easily maneuver over the various hurdles and stumbling blocks. Procedures, regulations and licenses to buy and process cashew nuts must be simplified without losing overall oversight on movement and quality of products (through CBT).
