  • Should SMEs invest in edible oils in Tanzania?
  • In particular, the team found that large Tanzanian companies are well positioned to make this investment; investors can source raw materials from local SMEs, which would experience higher productivity from rising demand. In late 2017, the USAID team designed a three-phase feasibility study for the edible oils sector.
  • 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).
  • Why is edible oil a strategic commodity in Tanzania?
  • Policy priority: The government of Tanzania has identified edible oil as a strategic commodity for reducing food imports and promoting domestically produced food commodities. The choice of the product is supported by the fact that Tanzania¡¯s large national demand for edible oil requires imports to meet about 60% of demand (5).

  • Tanzania has great potential in the sunflower oil seeds sector, which can be scaled-up as one of its key sectors for industrial development.
  • What is seed production & certification in Tanzania?
  • Seed production and certification in Tanzania is governed by the Seed Production Act 2003, amended in 2007, and administered by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security, and Cooperatives.

  • 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.
