  • Which oil is most popular in Tanzania?
  • sunflower have the strongest global demand of oils with significant production in Tanzania While palm has the highest demand globally, current production dynamics in Tanzania strongly favor sunflower only Land access and significant patient capital required to ramp up production Dependent on seed cotton production trends.
  • How can Tanzania expand the edible oil industry?
  • Low smallholder participation in oil Source: Icons from Noun Project 4 In order to expand the edible oils industry, Tanzania should focus first on the sunflower value chain, as it is best positioned to serve strong demand given current production dynamics Source: IHS Markit; FAOSTAT; Dalberg analysis from calculations
  • What are the main oil palm planting areas in Tanzania?
  • The main oil palm planting areas in Tanzania include Kigoma, Kyela District and Tanga. Due to the suitable soil and climate, the Kigoma area undertakes more than 80% of Tanzania’s palm oil production tasks. The production potential of the Kigoma area may enable Tanzania became one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of palm oil.
  • Can Tanzania develop oil palm plantation & processing?
  • Tanzania has the potential to develop oil palm plantation and processing The main oil palm planting areas in Tanzania include Kigoma, Kyela District and Tanga. Due to the suitable soil and climate, the Kigoma area undertakes more than 80% of Tanzania’s palm oil production tasks.
  • Which products are most likely to be a strategic choice in Tanzania?
  • Source: IHS Markit; FAOSTAT; Dalberg analysis from calculations Focusing on sunflower is a strategic choice that is most likely to have the greatest impact in the edible oils industry in Tanzania; palm and cotton (as well as other value chains) can be pursued once critical barriers have been resolved
