The Executive Secretary of the Mining Commission, Eng. Ramadhani Lwamo, has underscored the importance of enhancing efficiency in the valuation of gemstones through closer collaboration between the Commission and stakeholders in the mining sector, particularly in the formulation and regular review of indicative mineral prices.
The initiative aims to strengthen transparency, improve productivity and further enhance the business environment within Tanzania’s mineral sector.
Speaking during a working session for commission geologists and mineral valuers held on April 22, 2026, at the Mining Commission Headquarters in Dodoma, Eng. Lwamo noted that strengthened cooperation among stakeholders has already begun yielding positive results.
He said notable achievements include improvements in gemstone valuation systems and an increase in Government revenue generated from the trade of gemstones and diamonds.
Eng. Lwamo explained that the ongoing efforts align with the Mining Commission’s target of collecting Sh1.2 trillion in revenue during the 2025/2026 financial year.
He added that the institution continues to strengthen professional capacity by increasing the availability of valuation experts and essential working tools to improve operational efficiency.
He also commended Mining Commission staff for their continued dedication and urged them to maintain momentum in order to meet and surpass the institution’s performance targets.
The meeting is expected to be followed by specialised sessions aimed at reviewing and updating indicative gemstone prices in collaboration with key industry stakeholders, including FEMATA, TAMIDA, TAWOMA and CHAMATA.
