  • 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.
  • How efficient is palm oil extraction in Tanzania?
  • This is equivalent to a palm oil extraction efficiency of about 12 %. Furthermore, FAO estimated an area of only 5000 ha being used for oil palms in Tanzania during the same year. The calculated average yield applied by FAO for Tanzania exceeds 14.2 t of FFB or 1.7 t of palm oil per hectare.
  • 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.
  • How much palm oil does Tanzania produce?
  • The official statistics of FAOSTAT (2012) estimate different (higher) palm oil yield levels in Tanzania compared to the average yield results of 0.44 t of palm oil per ha determined using the data from our survey conducted in 2011. Our results also differ from the yields of 0.58 t per ha reported in the census data 2007/08 (URT 2012b ).
