  • 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.
  • Does small-scale palm oil production in Kigoma retain the character of local adapted farming?
  • The present study suggests that small-scale production and processing of palm oil in Kigoma (whether intercropped or not) is likely to retain the character of a locally adapted farming system destined to provide enough product for the subsistence of the families and to generate some additional income for the farmers.
  • Do small-scale palm oil producers have a weak milling capacity?
  • Though small-scale producers are characterized by weak milling capacity (Kajisa et al. 1997;Uckert et al. 2015), they occupy a large share of the West African palm oil processing sector, accounting for up to 83% of palm oil production. (Hassan et al. 2016).
  • What is the production of palm oil in Kigoma?
  • It was shown that the production of palm oil in Kigoma depends on the productivity of oil palms aged over 30 years (>75 % of oil palm) and on the variety dura (>75 % of all oil palms are either bengezas or juwe varieties) (Table 2 ).
