  1. TEOSA Edible Oilseeds Production in Tanzania: The Case of Sunflower and Sesame SEPTEMBER 2012

  2. PRESENTATION OUTLINE • Background • Findings • Conclusions • Recommendations

  3. BACKGROUND • Importance of Edible Oils • Essential for normal health of cells (body) growth. • Intake is measured as Fat-to-energy ratio (FER) • Findings by FAO – FER range between 7% - 40% • Minimum recommended is 15% ≈ 21Kgs/capita per annum • NOTE: Excessive intake poses health risks too.

  4. BACKGROUND • Sources of Edible Oils Tanzania • Imported • crude palm oils refined in Tz • finished palm oil • others oils • Domestic source • Sunflower Oil • Cotton seed Oil • Palm Oil • Others (E.g. Simsim)

  5. FINDINGS • Imports of palm-based oils in Mt • Source:TRA

  6. FINDINGS • Domestic : Sunflower & Sesame production trend • Source: MAFC

  7. FINDINGS - MAFC • Domestic : Sunflower production growth rates • Source: MAFC

  15. CONCLUSIONS: Opportunities in the Edible Industry • Government Policies: Growing recognition of the strategic role of edible oilseeds in the economy by the Government e.g. • VAT waiver on domestically processed edible oils • Subsidy in planting seeds under ASDP • Devising parallel standards for edible oils to allow SMEs access markets, etc; • Agricultural Sector Development Strategy, Agricultural Marketing Policy, Tanzania Industry Strategy, Southern Agriculture Growth Corridor of Tanzania (SAGCOT) • Kilimo Kwanza Resolution, etc.

  16. CONCLUSIONS: Opportunities in the Edible Industry • Development partners: There is solid support by development partner NGOs e.g. RLDC, SNV, Aga Khan and VECO. Building value chain actors’ bodies to promote the sector. • Private Sector: Growth in investment by private sector and emergence of actors associations e.g. CEZOSOPA, TASUPA, TEOSA, etc. • Technology: Scalability of oil pressing technology allows broad/rural - based value addition.

  17. CONCLUSIONS : Challenges Facing the Sub-Sector • Production: • Yield is still very low, it is feasible to produce up to 2 – 3 times under good agriculture practices. • Limited R&D activities on planting materials and plant health management. • Marketing: • Trade is non-structured, seeds are not graded and there is rampant use of non-standard measurements and packages; • High post-harvest losses due to lack of appropriate storage facilities; • Sub-sector is not yet insulated from global supply shocks.

  18. CONCLUSIONS : Challenges Facing the Sub-Sector • Processing Technology:Lack of standards and enforcement mechanism for oil expelling technology. • Lack of small scale oil refining technology for products to conform to TFDA requirements • Packaging materials not readily accessible.

  19. RECOMMENDATIONS : Recommendations for Short-term • In the short-run: • There is an urgent need to strengthen emerging edible oil seeds actor bodies especially TEOSA • The sub-sector should have anchor departments at two key Ministries of Agriculture and Industry to have a common strategy. • Build TEOSA’s capacity particularly on knowledge and information management which is pre-cursor to effective services to members, advocacy and dialogue with the Government.

  20. RECOMMENDATIONS : Recommendations for Short-term • In the medium and long-term: • Position the domestic edible oil sub-sector in the regional (EAC and SADC) market for edible oils; • Development of linkages e.g. to livestock and export market for seedcake. • Advocate for establishment of Tanzania Edible Oil Development Board under PPP framework to oversee the growth of the sector.

  21. END TEOSA Towards a competitive Tanzania edible oil industry
