  • Why are edible oilseed crops used in Tanzania?
  • The choice of edible oilseed crops is supported by the fact that Tanzania¡¯s large national demand for edible oil requires imports to meet about 60% of demand [ 1, 11 ]. The demand for imported edible oils is increasing, resulting in about US $ 294 billion of foreign currency reserves being spent annually [ 1, 11, 12 ].
  • How can the got reduce Tanzania's dependence on imported edible oil?
  • The GoT wants to reduce Tanzania¡¯s dependence on imported edible oil by boosting domestic oil seed production and downstream oil processing capacity. In 2016 the GoT implemented a 10% tariff on imports of CPO as one mechanism to support this objective, but stakeholder views on the merits of the tariff policy are mixed.
  • What is the demand gap for edible oil in Tanzania?
  • Much of the demand gap is currently met by imported edible oil (60% across all edible oils, 55-70% for sunflower oil) (Salisali, 2017). The GoT wants to reduce Tanzania¡¯s dependence on imported edible oil by boosting domestic oil seed production and downstream oil processing capacity.
  • Should SMEs invest in edible oils in Tanzania?
  • In particular, the team found that large Tanzanian companies are well positioned to make this investment; investors can source raw materials from local SMEs, which would experience higher productivity from rising demand. In late 2017, the USAID team designed a three-phase feasibility study for the edible oils sector.
