Lindi Region

Lindi Region anchors Tanzania's southeastern coast, with offshore natural gas discoveries driving economic anticipation. Cashew nuts dominate agricultural exports, while artisanal fishing along the Indian Ocean coastline supports coastal communities. The Selous Game Reserve's eastern boundary touches the region. Infrastructure investments anticipate gas-linked industrialization. Colonial-era cashew and sisal estates established path-dependencies that persist in modern land use. The region's remoteness from Dar es Salaam has constrained development but preserved natural resources.
