The Sunflower Sector in Tanzania A Great Potential for
In 2007, the RLDC business partner in Kiteto started to run a sunflower oil processing plant in Kibaya. The partner processes 40-50 bages of sunflower seeds per day, operating the plant 7-9 months per year, processing a total of 9,000-13,000 bags per year. While there are other
Tanzania’s sunflower oil producers come into bloom. With an annual output of around 350,000 tons of sunflower oilseeds, corresponding to about 90,000 tons of oil, Tanzania is one of the top ten sunflower oilseed producers in the world. Sunflowers are grown all over the country, mostly by small-scale farmers.
Tanzania’s sunflower sector is paving the way for future
Widespread adoption of improved seed is one important driver of increased production of sunflower oil in Tanzania, already one of the largest producers of the crop in Africa. And with sunflower processors investing in more than 50,000 metric tons of processing capacity, demand for sunflower from farmers is increasing. Setting up for change at scale
Sunflower oil is low in saturated fat and high in polyunsaturated fat. 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.
Tanzania's drive to industrialise sunflower sector stumbles
Tanzania has been investing heavily in sunflower processing to reduce its hefty edible oil imports, which account for between $90m and $250m a year. The government has also moved to introduce tariffs on edible oil imports, and removed VAT on sunflower oil processing equipment, to favour local oil producers.
Sunflower has an enormous potential in Tanzania, as it grows well in all regions, even in areas with low rainfall. Due to its potential, sunflower has attracted a number of investors from the edible oil processing industry with currently over 21 medium to large-scale sunflower oil-processing factories in Tanzania.
