Agricultural Council of Tanzania is the umbrella organization for the agricultural private sector in the country. It aims to unite groups and associations of farmers, livestock keepers, suppliers, processors, transporters, researchers, in order to push for improved economical and organizational environment for the sector.

ACT believes that a dialogue between stakeholders and a strengthening of agricultural associations can assist the sector in becoming commercialized and highly productive, leading to poverty reduction and an improved standard of living for the agricultural community - the majority of the Tanzanians.

In March 2008 the members approved a new strategic plan for ACT.  It means that ACT in 2008-2012 will work to become the most effective private sector organization for the whole agricultural sector in Tanzania by emphasizing modernization, commercialisation and the lobbying for key private sector agricultural issues.
