  • What is the oil-to-edible-oil value chain in Zimbabwe?
  • Zimbabwe’s oilseed-to-edible-oils value chain is concentrated around three seeds: soya bean, cotton, and sunflower, which are mainly used for the production of cooking oil for household and industrial use. Given the limited quantities in local production of oilseeds, edible-oil producers make use of import markets to source oilseeds.
  • Is sunflower a good source of oil & stockfeed?
  • Sunflower is an important source of oil and stockfeed, however, there has been lack of interest from local farmers to take up the crop if the current production figures are anything to go by. According to the second-round Crop and Livestock Assessment Report 2020/21 season, the estimated production for the season was 14 000 tonnes.
  • Why is sunflower production underutilised in Zimbabwe?
  • ¡°Farmers have the capacity but currently the value chain is not on its feet, hence capacity is underutilised,¡± said Zakariya. Zimbabwe has ideal climatic conditions for sunflower production and the crop is good for the drier parts of the country.
  • Is sunflower a good crop in Zimbabwe?
  • Zimbabwe has ideal climatic conditions for sunflower production and the crop is good for the drier parts of the country. It has immense benefits that arise from low input costs, short growing period and tolerance to dry conditions. However, there is a consensus on the need for improved higher-yielding varieties.
