dc.descriptionTanzania faces a 320,000-ton gap in edible oil production, with demand set to rise from 570,000 tons annually to 700,000 tons by 2030. Currently, the country produces only 180,000 tons from crops like sunflower, oil palm, and soybeans, relying on imports to meet the shortfall. Challenges such as low yields, outdated varieties, climate variability, and poor practices hinder local production. However, investment in improved seed varieties, climate-resilient farming, modern technologies, and processing infrastructure, as seen with Ntemisambo Company Limited, a small local enterprise in Katavi Region’s Mpanda District, offers opportunities to reduce imports and meet growing demand.
