Feature: Tanzania's Zanzibar seaweed woman farmer dreams big as her products to be exhibited at 6th CIIE


ZANZIBAR, Tanzania, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- A visit to Bweleo, a stone's throw away from the Indian Ocean coastline in Zanzibar, finds soft-spoken Saphia Hashim Makame busy selling her seaweed products in her tiny shop.

Saphia, 58, a mother of six children, has been a seaweed farmer since 1998. She could not mince her words when she learned that seaweed products will for the first time be exhibited at the 6th China International Import Expo (CIIE) to be held in Shanghai, China, from Nov. 5-10.
