The sunflower industry’s growth in Tanzania is significant because it can help us reduce our dependency on imported edible oil. Additionally, Tanzania is well positioned to benefit from positive international trends in the sunflower oil sector, making it important for both national consumers and the international market.
What is a sunflower oil extraction plant?
This sunflower oil extraction plant contains sunflower seeds pretreatment machines and sunflower oil pressing machines, which can efficiently extract sunflower oil from sunflower seeds.
Where does Tanzanian sunflower oil come from?
We source Tanzania sunflower oil from all parts of the country where the crop sustains under diverse weather conditions. Our sources from Singida keep about 0.5 hectares of land which they cultivate under farmyard manure. We only deal with farmers who use chemical sprays sparingly to reduce residual levels.
What is the cost of sunflower oil in Tanzania?
Sunflower oil in Tanzania can cost up to US$ 12.00 per litre compared with US$ 1.50 per litre for mainstream sunflower oil in the domestic market. This would make sunflower oil a high-value specialized food product instead of a commodity or food ingredient.
