My name is Eston Yesaya, I served as TAFOST-student committee chairperson the year 2011. I pursued a bachelor degree of Food Science and Technology at Sokoine University of Agriculture. Throughout my academic life at SUA, I strongly involved in establishment of this association carrying the main objective of re-uniting all stakeholders in the food industry that previously got separated without organising themselves for any related business to share. Before commencement and legally get recognized, the association experienced so many challenges from both students and outsiders hereby referred to people out Food science and Technology field. The founders of TAFOST national wise need to be acknowledge and for SUA as branch, professor Chove and professor Tiisekwa cant be kept aside. Generally all students from different academic years played a potential role in establishment of and strengthening the association. Non of us was the best, all among us we did the best.
I would like to request you all to participate equally in all associations’ plans and programs to enhance positive development of the association. This is the only way forward for claim presentation and education delivery concerning food science and technology industry in Tanzania.
It is my hope that the association becomes the voice of professionals, hope of Tanzanians against rapidly intrusion of poor quality food products. Being source of experts who are properly trained with over flowing ethics the nation may get rescued. This is only possible via independent professional body like TAFOST.
COME ONE COME ALL, TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE OUR ASSOCIAN STRONG AND PRODUCTIVE. This is to say welcome all FST first years students.
Kind regards
Eston Yesaya.
