On May 12 local time, Mao Yuxin, deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Hunan Province, and Cai Dianwei, chairman of Hunan Construction Investment Group (HCIG), visited the sunflower seed oil processing plant project in Tanzania.

As an agricultural country, Tanzania is abundant in sunflowers, but its edible oil relies heavily on imports due to poor industrial production technology.

This project can help local farmers planting sunflowers obtain a market share and increase their income, optimize the supply structure of domestic edible oil in Tanzania, ensure the stability of its edible oil supply, increase the added value of agricultural products, solve the problem of insufficient processing capacity of local agricultural products, and assist in the industrial development of Tanzania.

This project will also create direct or indirect employment opportunities for the Tanzanian people, increase local taxes, and further promote the economic development in Tanzania.

The inspection team visited the construction site, learned about the project progress, listened to the relevant reports of the project leader, and recognized the preliminary work of the project. At the meeting, Hunan No.6 Engineering Co., Ltd., Yueyang Guansheng, and Mainland Group gave a detailed report on the project situation respectively. The attendees discussed topics such as the contracting mode of the project, production and operation, and team building.

At the same time, he hoped that all parties involved in the project can work together to inject vitality into Hunan’s endeavor to buiod a highland for reform and opening up in inland areas.
