  • Does Tanzania have a shortage of edible oil?
  • While the local and regional market for edible oils is large and growing, local supply in Tanzania is not keeping up. Given a shortfall of 360K metric tons, Tanzania imports over 60% of the country’s cooking oil. This costs USD 250M in palm oil imports every year, making it the sector with the second highest foreign exchange transactions by value.
  • Does Tanzania import cooking oil?
  • Given a shortfall of 360K metric tons, Tanzania imports over 60% of the country’s cooking oil. This costs USD 250M in palm oil imports every year, making it the sector with the second highest foreign exchange transactions by value. However, the country has a large and growing refined sunflower oil industry that can substitute these imports.
  • Where are oilseeds grown in Tanzania?
  • Oilseeds are produced in almost all regions in Tanzania. The major crop for edible oil production in Tanzania is the sunflower because it can be grown in most parts of the country as it is drought resistant, less susceptible to diseases and cheaper to cultivate compared to other oilseeds crops.
  • Is Tanzania a net importer of petroleum products?
  • Tanzania is a net importer of petroleum products. Petroleum products supply in Tanzania has been conducted through a Bulk Procurement System (BPS) since 2011. Under the BPS, purchases of petroleum products are made from a pool of imports obtained from suppliers selected through a competitive bidding process.
