  • Why should we invest in sunflower oil in Tanzania?
  • Investment in sunflower oil production locally could therefore provide competition against imported oil. One reason for encouraging the greater production and processing of sunflower oil in Tanzania is thus its potential for import substitution, which could generate income and jobs at home and have a beneficial impact on foreign- exchange outflows.
  • How is sunflower oil processed?
  • To process sunflower into cooking oil, farmers use a grinding machine called an expeller. Because Mrs. Kamuwikeni does not have an expeller, she uses other people’s expellers and pays a processing fee. She says, “After extracting the oil using the expeller, the oil is not clean enough to be sold directly to the community.”
  • What is the potential market for sunflower & groundnuts in Tanzania?
  • The potential market in western Tanzania is nearly 75,000 tons annually. The current market for the sunflower and groundnuts products is local consumption. More than half of vegetable oil consumed in Tabora is imported due to the lack of supply in local production.
  • How much is a bag of sunflower worth in Zambia?
  • Most farmers prefer to sell their sunflower as seeds and grain rather than process it because they receive sales income immediately. But now that Mrs. Kamuwikeni is adding value to her sunflower harvest, she is making twice the money she used to make. A bag of sunflower weighing 25 kilograms is sold at 150 Zambia Kwacha (about $6.60 US).
