  • 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.
  • 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.
