Toiduõli tootmise hetkeseis Tansaanias

Tansaania seisab praegu silmitsi toiduõli tootmise tohutu puudujäägiga ja ta sõltub suuresti impordist, et rahuldada kasvavat nõudlust toiduõli järele, mis eelmisel aastal ulatus 294 miljonini.

According to the Tanzania Investment Center (TIC), the annual demand for edible oil is 500,000 tons, while the country's supply is only 180,000 tons, forcing it to import 320,000 tons of edible oil per year. Tanzania expects its annual demand to increase to 700,000 tons in the next 11 years. The government is seeking investors in the edible oil industry to help close the supply gap and ease the huge import burden.

Tansaania on suuruselt teine ​​päevalilleseemnete tootja Aafrikas. Tansaanias levinud toiduõlide hulka kuuluvad maapähkliõli, palmiõli, päevalilleseemneõli, sojaõli ja seesamiõli.

Eelmisel aastal teatati, et Tansaania valitsus pidas läbirääkimisi potentsiaalsete investoritega ja julgustab neid rajama riiki toiduõli töötlemise tehaseid.

In addition, the country's deputy minister Anthony Mavunde revealed that the government is working with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the UN Industrial Development Organization and will develop a development strategy aimed at promoting oilseed production to close the deficit gap caused by the country's edible oils.
