  • 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 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.
  • 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.
