  • 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 zimgold a major producer of cooking oil in Zimbabwe?
  • The limited quantities of oilseed production in Zimbabwe have resulted in the dependence on imports. Zimgold has grown rapidly and invested in multiple categories, becoming the largest producer and marketer of cooking oil in Zimbabwe.
  • 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.
  • 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.
