New oil palm variety set to alleviate country’s edible oil shortage
THE Ministry of Agriculture plans to provide education to its extension officers and oil palm farmers in Kigoma Region to enable the crop’s cultivation provide the intended benefits to help the country become self-sufficient in edible oil production as well as for export.

The plan, to be implemented by Tanzania Agricultural Research Institute (TARI) is a result of its research on quality oil palm seed – the Tenera type that showed positive results for increasing the crop’s yield from 1.5 tonnes of edible oil per hectare in regard to the old Dula type, to 5 - 6 tonnes per hectare for Tenera.

Responding to requests by oil palm farmers and extension officers TARI Director general Dr Geoffrey Mkamilo said the education has begun to be provided at TARI’s Kihinga Centre in Kigoma Region.

He said after TARI researchers and experts completed research that provided the new Tenera oil palm seed whose benefits have been witnessed in just two years, they were now concentrating in educating farmers to adopt the new seed.

At the oil palm farm owned by Onyango George at Maembe Village in Kigoma District, Dr Mkamilo told the farmers one way to reap huge quick benefits from oil palm cultivation is to stop using the hand hoe for weeding, and instead use weed killers, a little bit expensive, but with excellent results.

Earlier the palm oil farmer said he decided to invest in the crop’s cultivation by planting 20 acres, and later added 30 more acres after he was attracted by the new Tenera seed.

Kigoma district agriculture officer, Ramadhani Amri thanked TARI for the education provided to them on the crop’s cultivation for onward transmission to farmers, as it will help to realise government’s goals.
