FAQ

  • QCan small scale palm oil processing be used in West and Central Africa?
    ASophisticated large scale technologies, on the other hand, are generally beyond the financial reach of the rural population. The present review aims at throwing more light on a third option: small scale or intermediate technologies for palm oil processing in West and Central Africa.
  • 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 ).
  • Q What if I don't operate this product?
    AOur machine operation video and manual are for your reference. If necessary, we will send engineers to train for you personally.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
