In 2026, Tanzania's new mining policy officially came into effect, requiring that 20 key mining materials must be provided by local enterprises. The authorities have launched the construction of 21 manufacturing factories at the abandoned Buz Waji gold mine site, gradually replacing imports. This measure forces international suppliers to change their original pure export model, and Chinese enterprises need to turn to local production and supply through technology joint ventures and other means to cope with supply chain restructuring.Editor/Gao Xue
