comparative advantage that Tanzania has in different sectors

This period was selected because of the two main reasons;
i. This is the period where the global market was in a
recovery situation after the global economic crisis of
2008, (Jurčić &Teodorović, 2011; Foxley, 2009 &
Lunogelo et al, 2010).
ii. Is the best period to evaluate the objectives of Export
Processing Zones (EPZs) Act, which was established
in Tanzania in 2002, and to be amended on 2006 to

EPZA (2006), EPZs aimed to attract and encourage
investment for export, hearten technological shift,
