  • What type of oil is produced in Tanzania?
  • Oil seed production in Tanzania mainly focuses on ground nuts (40%), sunflower (36%), sesame (15%), cotton (8%) and palm oil (1%). More than half of vegetable oil consumed in Tabora and Tanzania as a whole is imported due to insufficient domestic production. The population of western Tanzania is approximtely 5.8 million in 2012.
  • How can Tanzania expand the edible oil industry?
  • Low smallholder participation in oil Source: Icons from Noun Project 4 In order to expand the edible oils industry, Tanzania should focus first on the sunflower value chain, as it is best positioned to serve strong demand given current production dynamics Source: IHS Markit; FAOSTAT; Dalberg analysis from calculations
  • 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.
  • What are Tanzanian sunflower seeds?
  • Tanzanian 'Record' and 'Peredovik' varieties are local sunflower seeds with a thin shell and a high oil content, making them ideal for processing at a small scale. Most of the raw material for this comes from Singida and Dodoma (in Tanzania). These sunflower seeds are soft and have a good oil content.
