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

Tanzania Edible Oilseeds Actors Ltd(TEOSA) PRESENTATION OUTLINE Background Findings Conclusions Recommendations

Tanzania Edible Oilseeds Actors Ltd(TEOSA) 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.

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

Tanzania Edible Oilseeds Actors Ltd(TEOSA) CONCLUSIONS: Opportunities in the Edible Industry 15 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.

Tanzania Edible Oilseeds Actors Ltd(TEOSA) CONCLUSIONS: Opportunities in the Edible Industry 16 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.

Tanzania Edible Oilseeds Actors Ltd(TEOSA) CONCLUSIONS : Challenges Facing the Sub- Sector 17 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.

Tanzania Edible Oilseeds Actors Ltd(TEOSA) CONCLUSIONS : Challenges Facing the Sub- Sector 18 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.

Tanzania Edible Oilseeds Actors Ltd(TEOSA) RECOMMENDATIONS : Recommendations for Short-term 19 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.

Tanzania Edible Oilseeds Actors Ltd(TEOSA) RECOMMENDATIONS : Recommendations for Short-term 20 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.
