  • Does Tanzania have a potential in the 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.
  • How does the sunflower value chain contribute to the development of Tanza-Nia?
  • hority data).The sunflower value chain is capable of significantly contributing to the economic development of Tanza-nia by increasing the income of smallholder farmers, creating employment opportunities for the youth, and reducing the edible oi
  • 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
  • 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.
  • Can smallholder farmers grow sunflowers in Tanzania?
  • In addition, given that there are 1 million smallholder farmers in Tanzania who grow sunflowers, this segment can plug into existing in-country capabilities and infrastructure attractiveness. The team analyzed each opportunity by looking at the predicted revenues, costs, investment required and level of interest from investors.
  • Could sunflower oil replace imported palm oil?
  • supply, the team found that sunflower oil could replace imported palm oil and that production costs could be lowered significantly through the use of improved-yield seeds. In addition, given that there are 1 million smallholder farmers in Tanzania who grow sunflowers, this segment can plug into existing in-country capabilities and infrastructure
