A Tanzanian export house with a broad range and a direct approach.

SALSA International Business Associates Limited is based in Dar es Salaam and supplies products and commodities from Tanzania and East Africa to buyers internationally.

SALSA International Business Associates Limited is an export company registered in Tanzania. Its brochure opens with a line that says what the company is for: to make the products available from Tanzania and East Africa known to customers, suppliers, importers and partners overseas.

The company’s motto — “Your goals, our drive” — describes how it works. A buyer arrives with a requirement; SALSA’s job is to meet it from the East African supply base it knows.

Goods loaded in a container for export from Tanzania

Everything SALSA supplies originates in Tanzania or the wider East African region. That includes some products found nowhere else — Tanzanite is mined only in Tanzania — and others for which the region is well known, such as Zanzibar spices, highland coffee and sisal.

Being based in Dar es Salaam, the country’s principal commercial city and port, places the company at the point where East African product leaves for international markets.

The current range covers six categories. Foodstuffs form the largest group: halal goat, mutton and sheep meat, beef, fish, fresh and frozen avocado, MD2 pineapples, organic spices, husked coconut, cashew nuts and natural honey. Coffee is supplied as Arabica green beans, dried green Arabica and Robusta.

Beyond food, SALSA supplies core veneers, plywood and marine boards; Tanzanite and other East African gemstones; sisal fibre in UG and SSUG grades; and, as shown in the company brochure, minerals including gold, coal, limestone, iron ore and lead/zinc.

“Dear customers, suppliers, importers, partners and our esteemed counterparts — SALSA International Business Associates Limited would like to enlighten you on the available products from Tanzania and East Africa for export.”

Opening of the SALSA product brochure, 2026

SALSA is a wholesale exporter. It does not sell to consumers and it does not publish prices. Its counterparts are importers, distributors, wholesalers, food businesses, commodity traders and procurement teams who buy in commercial quantities.

For that reason the company works by enquiry. A buyer states the product, the specification, the quantity and the destination; SALSA confirms availability, preparation, packing and shipping terms. Product characteristics that are not published on this site are provided at that stage.

The relationship starts with a clear requirement and a direct answer. SALSA’s contact details are the company’s own — two Tanzanian phone lines and a company email — and enquiries are handled by the company rather than an intermediary.

We would rather say “available upon enquiry” than publish a figure we cannot stand behind. What is written on this site reflects the company’s brochure; what is not written is discussed with you directly.
