1 INTRODUCTION There was a workshop held from 6th to 9th December, 2010 in Mbozi district at Shimoni Conference hall, Vwawa town. The workshop was attended by 41 participants from the public and private sectors (see the list of participants on annex 1). The first two days of the workshop involved all 41 participants and culminated into selecting the crop for CIP and analysing its value chain. The last two days involved a task force that was nominated by the participants. The task force then completed the CIP for sunflower production in the district ready to be shared by other stakeholders before submission to the district council as one of the investors.
The workshop was called for and organized by TAP under sponsorship from the EU. Sunflower was selected as a commodity for preparation of the investment plan.
The main purpose of this CIP is to attract investors from public and private sectors to invest in paddy production, processing and infrastructure and thus develop the value chain of the selected crop.
Partners in the CIP who participated in the workshop are: farmers, ADP-Mbozi, district council, TAP,TCCIA, Unyiha Associates Limited, Agro-dealers, Traders

2.3 Population Size and Growth According to the 2002 population census, Mbozi District had a population of 513, 600 people of which 243,948 were males and 269,652 females, with an intercensal growth rate of 3.1% which is above the National annual average of 2.9%. District average rate of population growth for the period of 1978 to 1988 and1988 to 2002 decreased from 3.4% to 3.1%. The overall sex ratio is 90 males for every 100 females. Population projection 2010 is about 661,327 of which 324,050 were males and 337,277 females. The population density is 68 people per km².
2.4 Climate Mbozi district is divided into three distinct agro-ecological zones. These are the South Western Plateau zone (Ndalambo plateau), the Coffee zone (Mbozi plateau) and the Lowlands of Lake Zone (Msangano plains). The District lies between 900 – 2750 meters above the sea level. On average it receives rainfall between 1350 mm and 1550 mm per annum; while temperature ranges between 200C to 280C.
2.5 Physical Features: The district occupies a total area of 967 900Ha that are classified as follows:
- Arable land 766,640Ha.
- Forest reserves 93,738Ha.
- Settlement and other uses 78,322 Ha
- Area covered by water 29,200Ha.
- Potential irrigable area 11,635 Ha
There is a large arable land which is not cultivated - out of 766,640 Ha of arable land only 216,198 Ha, which is 28% of the total arable land area, was cultivated in 2008/09 season. Another existing potential for agricultural production is existence of a good number of rivers and fertile valley suitable for irrigation. However, currently the land under irrigation is only 1,650 Ha, which is 23% of the potential irrigable area. Such low utilization is mainly constrained by lack of technology and capital for investment, as the existing irrigation uses traditional methods, which are less effective.
2.6 Agricultural Production: As mentioned earlier, Mbozi district has diverse agroecological zones making it possible to grow many types of crops. The major food crops grown in the area include maize, paddy, sorghum,
8
fingermillet, bulrush millet, sweet potatoes, irish potatoes, groundnuts and beans while the cash crops grown in the district are coffee, simsim and sunflower. Paprika was becoming an important cash crop but due to lack of buyers its production is dwindling.The production trend of the different food and cash crops in Mbozi district is shown on table 2 below. It should be noted that production trends are very much affected by weather conditions.

2.7 Livestock production Livestock production is an important sector in Mbozi district. Nearly 80% of the households own at least one type of livestock. The livestock provide food, draft power, income and used as dowry in marriages. Farmers’ income from livestock and products thereof accounts for 23% of household income. Moreover, Mbozi district is renown for use of draft animals in agricultural production. Currently 18% of the farmers use animal draft technology, 80% use the hand hoe, 1% use power tiller and 1% use tractors.

2.8 Sunflower production As mentioned earier sunflower was selected as a commodity for investment in Mbozi district. Sunflower is one of the emerging non-traditional cash oil seeds crops. The crop started to be grown in 1985 at a smaller scale using local varieties. In 1998 farmers started to respond to the requirements of the market by growing improved varieties. Sunflower is popularly grown in all divisions of Mbozi district.
Table 4 below shows some baseline agronomic data of sunflower.
Table 4: Sunflower baseline agronomic data
Parameter Actual Potential/ Ideal
Yield average (t/ha) 0.8 1.9
Seed rate (kg/ha) 4 6
Varieties Improved (Jupiter and Record) Improved (Jupiter and Record)
Mono cropping of sunflower is normally not a common practice. Majority of the farmers practice mixed cropping whereby sunflower is randomly planted with maize. Farmers grow local varieties as well as improved ones as a response to the requirements of the oil market. Consequently production levels of the crop are normally low.
10
Leaf rust and Leaf rot are the most common diseases in sunflower production. Pests are rare but webworms are important storage pests. Farmers control the disease by use of chemical insecticides and indigenous pesticides like Utupa.
Majority of farmers sell the crop to traders as well as to oil millers in Vwawa, Tunduma, Mlowo and Mbeya. Processing is done at a small scale at household level. The estimated number of oil pressers in the district is 23 (8 were supplied to groups by the district council).

3 CHOICE OF THE CROP AS A COMMODITY FOR INVESTMENT Before selection of the crop as a commodity for investment in Mbozi district, the facilitator guided participants in a discussion to find out the factors that help farmers to decide on which crop to grow. Participants came up with the following factors:
Profitability – usually a more profitable crop is chosen. High productivity – producing more per unit area Availability of reliable markets within and outside the district Requirement at household – priority is food crops Crops that involve many investors. Weather condition
Participants were required to select three crops which are priority in the district as a process of selecting only one for investment. This process provoked a lot of discussions because some participants insisted to include coffee, which has already many investors especially at the level of marketing. Participants had to vote through a secret ballot and eventually coffee was eliminated and sunflower, paddy and sesame were selected for profitability analysis.

Participants discussed the results of the profitability analysis exercise. This exercise could not help participants to make decision on selecting a crop for investment. So participants decided to use the score card and identified some criteria for scoring (see table 7). Basing on the scoring exercise participants decided to select sunflower as a commodity for investment in Mbozi district.

4 VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS OF SUNFLOWER
Value chain describes activities to be undertaken in the whole process from production to consumption of a commodity (production, storage, processing and transportation to reach final consumers). It is a concept that stipulates all steps and measures to be taken in production of goods and services concerning the crop chosen for investment. It involves all actors in the chain and their responsibilities in ensuring that the chain is strong. At every stage in the chain the value of the commodity increases. All players in the chain of the commodity must be aware of this concept because each one has a role to play. It is also a concept that helps stakeholders to know clearly the challenges they face in all steps of commodity investment.
After discussing and understanding the concept of value chain, participants analysed the value chain of sunflower, a crop that was chosen for CIP in Mbozi District Council. First participants randomly identified the players in sunflower production as follows:
Transporter Agro-Dealers Traders Consumers Producers Processors
Every player above has responsibilities,challenges and priorities in sunflower production. Also several institutions are involved in one way or another to support key stakeholders for sunflower production investment e.g. extension services, banks, SACCOs.
Table 8 below shows the complete value chain analysis of sunflower production in Mbozi District Council.
