    <font face="Calibri">When I looked at the TZ agroecological zone
      maps for south-eastern Tanzania I found them to be identical to
      the SOTERSAF soil maps, just reinterpreted as crop
      recommendations, so suggest you just go get the SOTERSAF data (Google
      for the whole set or get the Tanzania subset from ILRI), and use
      that. I think you can download PDFs of the </font><font
      face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri">agroecological zone maps from
        some website (try
        <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.kilimo.go.tz/agricultural%20maps/Mlingano.htm">http://www.kilimo.go.tz/agricultural%20maps/Mlingano.htm</a>), and
        thus easily cross-reference to the soil map boundaries. However,
        I would take all results with a large pinch of salt since I
        think the underlying SOTERSAF data is pretty crude and has not
        been well ground-truthed. I would not expect it to be useful at
        sub-district level.<br>
