France–Tanzania relations are bilateral relations between France and Tanzania.
Trade
In 2020, the total bilateral trade between France and Tanzania was approximately 136 million euros. Most of the French exports are based on 4 major sectors: mechanical equipment, electrical, electronic and IT equipment; while imports from Tanzania are mainly forestry, fish and agro products.[1] In January 2020 the French-Tanzanian Chamber of Commerce was created with the top five major French companies operating in Tanzania: AGS Group, Bolloré, ENGIE PowerCorner, Maurel & Prom, TotalEnergies.[2] Total Energies is the largest shareholder in the multi-billion dollar East African Crude Oil Pipeline project.[3]
Tourism
France is an important tourist market for tourism to Tanzania. In 2022, over 100,000 French citizens visited Tanzania, with a major focus on Zanzibar.[4] Air France operates flights from Paris to Zanzibar and from June 2023, will operate direct flights from Paris to two cities in Tanzania.[5][6]
