FAQ

  • QHow efficient is palm oil extraction in Tanzania?
    AThis 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.
  • QHow is palm oil produced in Africa?
    APalm 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.
  • QAre you a factory?
    AYes, we are a factory, and we also have Overseas Trading Department, our oil processing machines have been sold all over the world.
  • QHow much palm oil does Tanzania produce?
    AThe official statistics of FAOSTAT (2012) estimate different (higher) palm oil yield levels in Tanzania compared to the average yield results of 0.44 t of palm oil per ha determined using the data from our survey conducted in 2011. Our results also differ from the yields of 0.58 t per ha reported in the census data 2007/08 (URT 2012b ).
  • QWhere does oil palm grow in Tanzania?
    AOil palm production in Tanzania is dominated by smallholder farmers living in the Kigoma Region (Kigoma Rural District) as well as in the Mbeya Region (mostly Kyela District) and some parts of the Tanga Region.
  • QWhat is the production of palm oil in Kigoma?
    AIt 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 ).

  • QDoes small-scale palm oil production in Kigoma retain the character of local adapted farming?
    AThe 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.
