  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Why is sunflower farming a good investment?
  • With the nation not producing sufficient edible oil to meet local requirements, venturing into sunflower farming presents an opportunity to increase income and livelihoods. Furthermore, farmers can realise more income by engaging in value addition. Estimates show that local industry requires 50 000-70 000 tonnes annually.
  • Why is Sunflower not a viable crop for commercial production?
  • In the past seasons, sunflower has not been a crop of choice for commercial production for most farmers. The lucrative returns are expected to boost production levels. If production of the crop increases, the country’s cooking oil requirement would be addressed.
