One reason for encouraging the greater production and processing of sunflower oil in Tanzania is thus its potential for import substitution, which could generate income and jobs at home and have a beneficial impact on foreign- exchange outflows. Also it is healthier than other types of oil, for example palm oil and groundnut oil.
