  • How much sunflower oil does Tanzania produce?
  • Speaking to The Citizen, the chairman of the Tanzania Sunflower Oil Processors Association (Tasuba), Mr Ringo Iringo, said sunflower seeds demand in Tanzania is 5,800 tonnes, while the country produces only 1,340 tonnes. About 1.7 million tonnes of seeds are required to manufacture 700,000 tonnes of cooking oil.
