  • Can palm oil be imported into Tanzania?
  • Palm oil is the most widely consumed edible oil in Tanzania, yet 98 percent of the demand is currently met by imported products. Palm oil value chain development thus offers great potential for import substitution, but requires significant increase in production efficiency.
  • Which areas are suitable for oil palm production in Tanzania?
  • There are many (other than Kigoma, Mbeya and Pwani) suitable for oil plam production in Tanzania. Areas that have the potential to grow oil palm include: Tabora (Urambo & Kaliua), Katavi, Morogoro, Tanga, Lindi, Mtwara, Kagera and Mbeya (Kyela)9.
  • How efficient is palm oil extraction in Tanzania?
  • This is equivalent to a palm oil extraction efficiency of about 12 %. Furthermore, FAO estimated an area of only 5000 ha being used for oil palms in Tanzania during the same year. The calculated average yield applied by FAO for Tanzania exceeds 14.2 t of FFB or 1.7 t of palm oil per hectare.
  • What is oil palm used for in Tanzania?
  • More recently, additional uses for this crop have developed, such as local soap production using palm oil. Oil palm production in Tanzania is carried out primarily by smallholder farmers living in Kigoma Region (Kigoma Rural District), as well as in Mbeya Region (mostly Kyela District) and some parts of Tanga and Pwani regions.
  • How is palm oil produced in Africa?
  • Palm oil production in Africa and especially in Tanzania is dominated by small-scale subsistence farming systems that are characterised by low productivity and low yields, even in regions with the most suitable cultivation conditions.
  • What is the palm oil value chain in Tanzania?
  • The palm oil value chain in Tanzania - Diagnostics, investment models and action plan for development and innovation (2019) Tanzania`s edible oil sub-sector stands at Tshs 676.2 billion (US$294 million) with players like Bidco Oil and Soap Ltd, Murzah Oil Mills and Alaska Tanzania3.
