  • Can mmmz make sunflower oil more widely available in Zambia?
  • The company will buy all sunflower produced by contracted out-growers. MMMZ wants to make sunflower oil more widely available in Zambia through this project. Sunflower oil is more nutritious than other edible oils and if processed from locally produced seed can be sold at prices which are affordable to low-income consumers.
  • Who sells edible oil in Zambia?
  • They hold about 45% of the Zambian edible oil market. MMMZ has their own processing plant with an oilseed crusher (200,000MT/annum capacity) and an edible oil refinery (140,000MT/annum capacity). They sell refined oil to wholesalers and the hotel industry, big retailers and also offer oil through dispensers via smaller outlets.
  • 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.”
  • How much does Naomi kamuwikeni sell a bag of sunflower?
  • Mrs Kamuwikeni can sell a 25-kg bag of sunflower for 150 Zambia Kwacha ($6.60 US). Or she can process that bag into 10 litres of cooking oil and sell it for 430 Kwacha ($19 US). It’s seven o’clock in the morning and Naomi Kamuwikeni is quickly walking to the oil expeller at Gondar market. She is carrying sunflowers to process into oil.
