According to him, Tanzania has 773 cooking oil factories requiring 1.7 million tonnes of sunflower seeds a year, worth Sh1.1450 trillion in total, at Sh850 per kilogramme. But, as only 352,908 tonnes worth Sh299 billion are produced locally, farmers lose Sh1.363 trillion in benefits from supplying to small, middle and large scale processing firms.

- Does sunflower commercialisation occur in Singida?
- The findings show that sunflower commercialisation in Singida, and corresponding underlying factors such as area expansion and productivity improvement, have not happened at a constant rate over the last 30 to 40 years. Household income and impacts have varied over time.
- How much sunflower oil does Tanzania produce?
- Speaking to The Citizen, the chairman of the Tanzania Sunflower Oil Processors Association (Tasuba), Mr Ringo Iringo, said sunflower seeds demand in Tanzania is 5,800 tonnes, while the country produces only 1,340 tonnes. About 1.7 million tonnes of seeds are required to manufacture 700,000 tonnes of cooking oil.
- Where can you grow sunflowers in Tanzania?
- Dar es Salaam. Sunflower is a crop with huge opportunities for farmers in Tanzania, as it can be grown in almost all the country’s 26 administrative regions. Although Dodoma, Singida and Manyara regions are major sunflower producers, the crop can also be profitably cultivated in the regions of Morogoro, Lindi, Mtwara and Iringa.
- Where do sunflowers grow in Africa?
- Other regions in which sunflower would flourish are Njombe, Mbeya, Songwe, Katavi, Rukwa, Tabora, Simiyu, Geita, Kagera, Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Mwanza, Mara, Tanga, Coast and Kigoma. Opportunities range from areas for seeds multiplication and the manufacture of cooking oil. Both products are highly demanded locally and internationally.
