Why should we invest in sunflower oil in Tanzania?

Investment in sunflower oil production locally could therefore provide competition against imported oil. One reason for encouraging the greater production and processing of sunflower oil in Tanzania is thus its potential for import substitution, which could generate income and jobs at home and have a beneficial impact on foreign- exchange outflows.

Are sunflowers a viable crop in the Tabora Region?

Sunflowers and groundnuts have low soil nutrient requirements, making the crop a viable option for less fertile areas of the Tabora Region and, compared to the popular tobacco cash crop, the production cycle of sunflowers is less labor intensive which could be an incentive to farmers.
