This study examined socio-economic factors influencing the position of women in fruit and vegetable value chains in Tanzania. Key findings include: 1) Education level, membership in farmer's associations, and household head status were significant factors influencing women's positions, with more education and association membership linked to higher positions. 2) Both men and women participated in production activities, but men dominated transportation of crops to major markets. 3) On average, women earned significantly less income than men from fruit and vegetable businesses. The study recommends empowering women through improved education, skills training, and association membership to help them attain higher levels in the value chains.
