  • 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 much oil does a cold press produce?
  • A good return is about 28%, or 280kg of oil per ton of seed. The cold-press process yields lower oil volumes than chemical refining; however, the former is entirely mechanical and 100% natural, which research has shown is best for retaining healthy fats such as omega-9 fatty acids, according to Homsek.
  • How is sunflower oil made?
  • Any foreign objects are removed before the oil is pressed out at very high pressure. The process replicates that used to produce cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil. The crude sunflower oil is piped into tanks and then into the factory for the next step in the process, known as winterising.
