Irrespective of aversive and pessimistic stereotype by substantial portion of contemporary generation in Sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalent materialization of agro-industrial linkages, sophisticated mechanization, agro-technological momentum, food insecurity, bio-fuel novelty, demographic upsurge , among other stimuli, rejuvenate the propulsion for agricultural iterative resoluteness in blossoming markets. The dominance of agriculture in socioeconomic domains, inter alia, triggers the imperativeness of proficient agricultural valuation practice for multiple purposes, in synchrony with market dynamics. The inevitable requisition for rural property appraisal, embolden the essence of competent agricultural valuation surveyors. This is a post-positivist study applying qualitative research approach through the content analysis method to unlock multiple-realities on the intricacies of agricultural valuation in developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. This paper expertly explores and articulates the conspicuous tenets of the agricultural estate valuation with simplicity by vividly inculcating on; agricultural properties, production influencing factors, relevant theories, valuation approaches, valuation process, narrative report contents, and contemporary bottlenecks to be tackled. The genesis of this study, anchors on still realistic phobic perspectives toward rural property appraisal by the majority of valuation intellectuals who cling to urban valuation, therefore undermining the cementation of the sub-specialty. The vision of this unique and special peace of workmanship is to guide and provoke affirmative attitude towards agricultural valuation, by blossoming valuation surveyors in nascent economies which still immensely depend on agriculture as their economic backbone.

This emanates from the fact that while land coverage is fixed; human beings and anthropogenic undertakings, amidst the changing ecosystem, continuously proliferate on the Earth's surface instigating scarcity and subsequent disputes. In tandem, the prerogative of eminent domain to expropriate land for public interest has often been vexed by resistance and retaliatory stifles from the subject evictees. Regardless, the practice is still being perceived as indispensable in enabling the state to provide public goods and services and create development opportunities. Contemporary, this has also been exacerbated by the " rush " for large-scale land based investments particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa frontier. Significant number of studies and evictees has persistently criticized the mechanism to which the process is executed while raising many un-answered questions. This piece of work is an attempt to delve into the realities of the practice in Tanzania, so as to discern and accentuate the genesis for land appropriation conflicts and potential remedies. The writer applied the content analysis method of research buttressed by personal experience in the field of valuation for compulsory purchase of property. Substantial amount of relevant newspapers were insightfully reviewed in order to unfold the multiple realities surrounding the issue at hand. Hence, it merits asserting that the bulk of this work is basically technical and academic focused rather than discursive. The writer lays a succinct conclusion that despite the shortcomings precipitated by divergent factors, a participatory and fit-for-purpose holistic approach, focusing on the specificity of the scenario at hand and availing alternative compensation schemes could be a sustainable panacea for the enigma.
Tanzania has been experiencing tremendous development in real estate industry for about a decade ... more Tanzania has been experiencing tremendous development in real estate industry for about a decade exacerbated by robust economic momentum, exorbitant property returns, scrupulous diversification strategies, explosive demographic figures, unprecedented urbanization, and strengthening financial systems. Nevertheless, the betterment of interventionist legal and regulatory frameworks overseeing the real estate sector at a broader perspective has paved the path for desirable fruition, showcased by both the institutional and private property developers. However, there is skepticism that the revolutionary achievements incline towards the high income earners while segregating the medium and low income dependants. The inflated capital costs, restrictive borrowing prerequisites, rampant bureaucracies, escalated prices for building materials, are among the conspicuous obstructions compelling the societal majority to opt for incremental property development with often prolonged construction periods to over 5-10 years, instead of 9-12 months, and poor housing conditions. The writer vividly explores multiple under-utilized opportunities for affordable housing finance in Tanzania.
