  • 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.
  • Why is Sunflower not a viable crop for commercial production?
  • In the past seasons, sunflower has not been a crop of choice for commercial production for most farmers. The lucrative returns are expected to boost production levels. If production of the crop increases, the country¡¯s cooking oil requirement would be addressed.
  • 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.
  • 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.
