  • Can Tanzania scale-up its sunflower oil sector?
  • Tanzania has great potential in the sunflower oil seeds sector, which can be scaled-up as one of its key sectors for industrial development.
  • Could Tanzania's sunflower sector be a model for other value chains?
  • As the study reveals, today Tanzania’s sunflower sector is poised to be a model for other value chains in Tanzania and inspire other countries to pursue industrialization by replicating its success in other value chains.
  • Why is Tanzania transforming the sunflower industry?
  • These tax and tariff changes have put Tanzania on the path to transforming the entire sector by prompting investors to pursue hybrid seed production, processing and other investments in the sunflower space. Dalberg was able to draw on its coalition of funders to obtain the private investment needed for essential technologies.
  • Can the sunflower sector become an exporter to other countries?
  • Industrialization of the sunflower sector is just a start, and a number of challenges remain before it can fulfill its potential – possibly as an exporter to other countries in the region. For now, from a seed to oil, and policy to people’s lives, the model established in Tanzania’s sunflower sector offers the promise to scale.
  • Is the sunflower sector ripe for industrialization?
  • Dalberg conducted the data analysis and evaluation needed to identify the sunflower sector as an area that is ripe for industrialization, and one that can add value and displace imports, in comparison to other sectors.
  • How many bags of sunflower oil a day does RLDC process?
  • 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.
