  • What is the demand gap for edible oil in Tanzania?
  • Much of the demand gap is currently met by imported edible oil (60% across all edible oils, 55-70% for sunflower oil) (Salisali, 2017). The GoT wants to reduce Tanzania¡¯s dependence on imported edible oil by boosting domestic oil seed production and downstream oil processing capacity.
  • Why should you invest in edible oil in Tanzania?
  • Investment opportunities introduction: Tanzania has a significant supply gap for edible oil for domestic consumption. This presents an opportunity for investment in local processing for edible oil. The current production capacity is only 36% of total edible oil demand (6, 7).
  • How much edible oil does Tanzania import a year?
  • Critical IOA Unit Tanzania imports 320,000 tons of edible oil per year. Tanzania¡¯s annual demand for edible oil stands at 500,000 tons, whereas the country can supply only 180,000 tons, forcing it to import 320,000 tons each year, signaling major opportunities for import substitution (7).
  • How much does sunflower oil cost in Tanzania?
  • Sunflower oil comprises 83% of total edible oils produced in Tanzania but meets only 30% of demand. Sunflower farmer in Tanzania While consumers prefer refined sunflower oil over imported palm oil, they find the cost differential prohibitive (USD 2.2/L vs. USD 1.5/L, respectively).
  • Where are oilseeds grown in Tanzania?
  • Oilseeds are produced in almost all regions in Tanzania. The major crop for edible oil production in Tanzania is the sunflower because it can be grown in most parts of the country as it is drought resistant, less susceptible to diseases and cheaper to cultivate compared to other oilseeds crops.
  • Does Tanzania have a shortage of edible oil?
  • While the local and regional market for edible oils is large and growing, local supply in Tanzania is not keeping up. Given a shortfall of 360K metric tons, Tanzania imports over 60% of the country¡¯s cooking oil. This costs USD 250M in palm oil imports every year, making it the sector with the second highest foreign exchange transactions by value.
