This book is dedicated to all readers who are interested in broadening their understanding of the performance of the Sunflower oilseeds sector in Tanzania and the world. It therefore, provides useful references for further research in the Sunflower value chain. The book is adopted from the Research paper that was presented at the Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University of Rotterdam, Netherlands in 2015. Besides, it is a potential development tool for the policy and decision makers as well as all stakeholders within the sector. The Paper attempted to assess the performance gap between farmer's oilseeds processing cooperatives and private processing enterprises within the sunflower value chain in Tanzania.
