  • Where does oil palm grow in Tanzania?
  • Oil palm production in Tanzania is dominated by smallholder farmers living in the Kigoma Region (Kigoma Rural District) as well as in the Mbeya Region (mostly Kyela District) and some parts of the Tanga Region.
  • What is oil palm used for in Tanzania?
  • More recently, additional uses for this crop have developed, such as local soap production using palm oil. Oil palm production in Tanzania is carried out primarily by smallholder farmers living in Kigoma Region (Kigoma Rural District), as well as in Mbeya Region (mostly Kyela District) and some parts of Tanga and Pwani regions.
  • How is palm oil produced in Africa?
  • Palm oil production in Africa and especially in Tanzania is dominated by small-scale subsistence farming systems that are characterised by low productivity and low yields, even in regions with the most suitable cultivation conditions.
  • Does small-scale palm oil production in Kigoma retain the character of local adapted farming?
  • The present study suggests that small-scale production and processing of palm oil in Kigoma (whether intercropped or not) is likely to retain the character of a locally adapted farming system destined to provide enough product for the subsistence of the families and to generate some additional income for the farmers.
