After five successful years, it is being refunded for a further period of five years from July 2008. The vision of SCF II, as it is known,is to enable Tanzanian food processors and marketers to access local and international markets on a sustainable basis. Its purpose is to provide food processing and marketing SMEs throughout the value chain with services that enable them to add value to food commodities and access international food product markets. Ultimately, it hopes to increase production, sales and exports of food products and thus jobs and income leading to improved livelihoods for entrepreneurs.
