decision on the 3ADI+ priority value chain. Responding to the high imports of edible oils, palm oil was selected as the priority value chain for 3ADI+ Tanzania. Palm oil accounts for more than a quarter of the country’s food imports and 3 percent of the country’s total imports as of 2016 (MAFAP, 2013; OEC, 2018).

Sunflower Value Chain Development in Tanzania
Policy Brief
Type oil refinery machine Production Capacity >80TPD (Customizable) Power AC 220V/50Hz Dimensions(L*W*H) 650x650x880mm Color Gold/Customised Service time 10 years or longer
Imported palm oil is 64% of this total, and retails at a low price of TSh. 3,500/L. While many consumers prefer sunflower oil because of its perceived health and quality benefits, they find refined sunflower oil more expensive at TSh. 5,000/L. Solvent extraction technology can lower the price of refined sunflower oil to be more competitive

They have recently obtained another 4,258 hectares of land 150km from Kigoma, where they plan to also plant oil palm. A first crop of seedlings was planted in December 2005, and a second in January 2007. Oil palm trees take four to five years to mature to fruition, and the production of CPO is planned to begin in 2009.

How to start a small edible oil refinery plant in Tanzania?
Production Capacity 5-7.5 KG/H Voltage 380V/415v/440v Dimension(L*W*H) 660x300x450mm Warranty 1 Year, One Year's Guarantee Screw speed 80mm Market tanzania
For small edible oil refinery plant, if the customer's processing capacity is 2 tons per day and below, and it is electric heating refining, we will install the main equipment before delivery, and the customer can use it after simple assembly after receiving it. Which can help customers save a lot of installation costs.
FAQ
- QWhat is the palm oil value chain in Tanzania?AThe palm oil value chain in Tanzania - Diagnostics, investment models and action plan for development and innovation (2019) Tanzania`s edible oil sub-sector stands at Tshs 676.2 billion (US$294 million) with players like Bidco Oil and Soap Ltd, Murzah Oil Mills and Alaska Tanzania3.
- QHow much does sunflower oil cost in Tanzania?ASunflower oil comprises 83% of total edible oils produced in Tanzania but meets only 30% of demand. Sunflower farmer in Tanzania While consumers prefer refined sunflower oil over imported palm oil, they find the cost differential prohibitive (USD 2.2/L vs. USD 1.5/L, respectively).
- QWhat is your material of your machine?ACarbon steel or Stainless steel(Standard type is SUS407,it can be customized according to your request)
- QWhat is oil palm used for in Tanzania?AMore recently, additional uses for this crop have developed, such as local soap production using palm oil. Oil palm production in Tanzania is carried out primarily by smallholder farmers living in Kigoma Region (Kigoma Rural District), as well as in Mbeya Region (mostly Kyela District) and some parts of Tanga and Pwani regions.
- QCan palm oil be imported into Tanzania?APalm 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.
- QWhich region produces the most palm oil in Tanzania?AKigoma, Mbeya and Pwani are the main oil palm producing regions in Tanzania – with Kigoma producing about 61.4%, Mbeya 35.7% and Pwani 0.9% as per 2017/18 agricultural season data1. In Kigoma there are over 30,000 smallholder subsistence palm oil farmers2. Meanwhile, the country imports over 500,000 MT of palm oil per annum.
- 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.
