Tanzania aims to become self-reliant in edible oil and therefore it has set aside USD 4.3 million to boost cultivation of oil palm.
 
The east African country despite having favorable weather conditions suitable for palm oil cultivation, imports 55.5% of its total edible oil.
 
The money earmarked will be used to develop palm oil crops so that farmers are on the same level as growers of other cash crops. The ministry of agriculture also plans to prepare a demonstration farm in Kigoma region where farmers can learn modern methods of oil palm production.
 
Kigoma region accounts for more than 80% of palm oil produced in Tanzania. The soil and weather in Kigoma is suitable for palm oil crops and it has the potential to make Tanzania one of the world’s top palm oil producers and exporters.
 
Tanzania’s private sector has seen increase in the production of palm oil crop since 2017 through engagements with financial institutions.

Dufil Prima Food Plc recently broke ground for a palm oil processing refinery in Item, Bende LGA of Abia State in Nigeria.
 
The plant by Dufil Prima Food is in response to the directive from Central Bank of Nigeria to manufacturers using palm produce to explore available raw materials and establish their own plants for backward integration.
 
Dufil Prima Foods Plc has received a 1040-hectare oil palm farm in lease from Amokwe and Okai villages of Item to source its raw materials.
 
In essence, there will be three sides to the project - acquiring virgin land, building a processing mill and leasing existing palm trees from the communities. Dufil will be sourcing raw materials from the Item communities for use in the company’s oil mills until its own palm trees start fruiting.
 
Dufil Prima Foods Plc currently imports palm raw materials for products such as Indomie Noodles and Power Oil.

Ivory Coast is one of the major natural rubber producers in the world and the country has recently brought more land under cultivation. It is ranked as Africa’s number one rubber exporter and also the seventh largest producer globally.
 
Recently, Ivory Coast’s minister of agriculture estimated that the country will produce 2 million tonnes of natural rubber by 2023. This prediction is based on the country’s flourishing natural rubber plantations as more and more farmers have switched from cocoa to grow rubber in recent years.
 
If Ivory Coast achieves 2 million tonnes of natural rubber by 2023, it would translate to over three-fold rise in natural rubber production in the country.
 
As production spreads across the country, Ivory Coast’s natural rubber association (APROMAC) has also increased its 2020 natural rubber production forecast to 750,000 tonnes. Over 165,000 farmers were planting rubber on around 600,000 hectares of land in 2017, according to APROMAC. That year, country’s rubber industry had a turnover of 495 billion CFA francs ($880 million).
