This is how Tanzania can meet edible oil challenges
Mtwara. The government has decided put emphasis on the cultivation of large scale farming to among other things, meet the demand of edible oil in the country. Presenting the budget of the ministry of Agriculture for the year 2022/23, Agriculture minister Hussein Bashe said the demand for edible oil in the country stood at 650,000 tons per annum
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. The population of western Tanzania is approximtely 5.8 million in 2012.

important crops, ranking fifth in oil production after soybeans ( Glycine max L.), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). In addition, Rhizobia, in association with groundnut plant, fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil, which improves soil fertility.
price of groundnut also contribute to the low production and productivity of the crop in the country (Katundu et al. 2014). Groundnuts (Arachis Hypogaea) in Tanzania In Tanzania, where groundnut is one of the main annual crops, the production cost of groundnut is cheaper than of other annual crops like rice (Akpo, Muricho, et al., 2020;
Groundnut production constraints, farming systems,, TARI
The objective of this study was to document the groundnut farmers’ major production constraints, farming systems, and varietal trait preferences in selected agroecologies of Tanzania. A participatory rural appraisal study was conducted in three groundnut-producing zones: Lake, Central, and Southern. Data were collected from 170 groundnut
Groundnut crop is one of the major sources of financial and food security for a large number of Tanzanian smallholder farmers. However, the production of groundnuts in Tanzania is underdeveloped, and yields are reportedly 2.5 to 3 times lower than in other African nations such as Nigeria. There are a number of factors that contribute to lower yields including the cultivation of outdated plant
Socio-Economic Factors Limiting Smallholder Groundnut
the crop is used in some way. The multiple uses of the groundnut plant make it an important food and cash crop for domestic consumption and export in many developing and developed countries. Globally, 50% of total groundnut production is used for oil extraction, 37% for confectionery use and 12% for seed (Taru et al., 2010).
Groundnut rust caused by Puccinia arachidis Speg. is a major cause of yield and quality losses in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in the warm-humid tropics including Tanzania. Breeding
