Instead, they have the buffer that cold storage provides \u2014 time to negotiate better deals or wait for market demand.<\/p><p data-start=\"2794\" data-end=\"3083\"><strong data-start=\"2794\" data-end=\"2829\">Value addition &amp; reduced waste:<\/strong> Rather than harvesting and selling raw produce immediately, farmers gain value from proper handling, storage, and export preparation. This also cuts post\u2011harvest losses, supporting food security at national level.\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"3087\" data-end=\"3304\"><strong data-start=\"3087\" data-end=\"3133\">Economic empowerment &amp; community benefits:<\/strong> As more farmers engage with formal value\u2011chains, there are opportunities for job creation \u2014 in packing, logistics, processing \u2014 and income growth for rural communities.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"3306\" data-end=\"3370\">The Future of Tanzanian Horticulture \u2014 and NuruSafe\u2019s Role<\/h3><p data-start=\"3372\"
