  • Does Tanzania produce sunflower oil?
  • According to national statistics, sunflower oil production in Tanzania has been increasing, along the past years with active national market demand for sunflower edible oil and its by-products ( United Republic of Tanzania, 2016 ).
  • Where are sunflowers grown in Tanzania?
  • Sunflower is cultivated throughout Tanzania, with production predominantly done by small farmers (95% of the producers) in areas between 0.4 and 1.2 ha, intercropped with maize, sorghum, and cowpeas. Additionally, there are a few medium and large farms (4% and 1% of the producers, respectively) growing sunflower as their main crop.
  • Why should we invest in sunflower oil in Tanzania?
  • Investment in sunflower oil production locally could therefore provide competition against imported oil. One reason for encouraging the greater production and processing of sunflower oil in Tanzania is thus its potential for import substitution, which could generate income and jobs at home and have a beneficial impact on foreign- exchange outflows.
  • What is the potential market for sunflower & groundnuts in Tanzania?
  • The potential market in western Tanzania is nearly 75,000 tons annually. The current market for the sunflower and groundnuts products is local consumption. More than half of vegetable oil consumed in Tabora is imported due to the lack of supply in local production.
