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.

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%).

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.
