  • What is oil palm used for in Tanzania?
  • More 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.
  • Which areas are suitable for oil palm production in Tanzania?
  • There are many (other than Kigoma, Mbeya and Pwani) suitable for oil plam production in Tanzania. Areas that have the potential to grow oil palm include: Tabora (Urambo & Kaliua), Katavi, Morogoro, Tanga, Lindi, Mtwara, Kagera and Mbeya (Kyela)9.
  • How much palm oil does Tanzania produce?
  • The 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 ).
  • How is palm oil produced in Africa?
  • Palm 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.
