- Why is sunflower production underutilised in Zimbabwe?
- “Farmers have the capacity but currently the value chain is not on its feet, hence capacity is underutilised,” said Zakariya. Zimbabwe has ideal climatic conditions for sunflower production and the crop is good for the drier parts of the country.
- Which countries produce sunflowers?
- On the production front, the international average yield for the crop stands at 1,6 tonnes per hectare and with good agronomic practices, farmers can even exceed this yield in Zimbabwe. The largest producer is Russia. Argentina, the EU, China, India, Turkey and SA are all significant producers of sunflower
- Is sunflower a good crop in Zimbabwe?
- Zimbabwe has ideal climatic conditions for sunflower production and the crop is good for the drier parts of the country. It has immense benefits that arise from low input costs, short growing period and tolerance to dry conditions. However, there is a consensus on the need for improved higher-yielding varieties.
- Is sunflower cooking oil good?
- Sunflower cooking oil is of greater quality as compared to oil from soya and cotton. Its market price is also higher than available alternatives. On the production front, the international average yield stands for the crop at 1,6t/ha and with good agronomic practices, farmers can even exceed this yield in Zimbabwe. The largest producer is Russia.
