  • Why is sunflower oil important in Tanzania?
  • 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. Also it is healthier than other types of oil, for example palm oil and groundnut oil.
  • 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.
