Earlier Report Observations
The volume of Zimbabwe's groundnut oil-cake market contracted from 17 672 t in 2018 to 13 200 t in 2021. This decline began with a shortage of groundnut seeds and a decrease in the number of farmers cultivating the crop, which reduced the raw material base for oil extraction and consequently limited cake output.
Market volume rebounded to 14 600 t in 2022 as groundnut cake was increasingly valued for its nutritional content and adopted in animal feed and organic fertilizer production, reflecting a shift in industrial and consumer preferences. Production levels held steady in 2023, supported by local extraction efforts spurred by global supply chain disruptions and the adoption of modern oil expeller machines that enhanced processing efficiency and product quality.
