On June 25, 2026 local time, Hon. Judith Salvio Kapinga, Minister of Industry and Trade of the United Republic of Tanzania, led an official delegation to inspect Mainland Group’s sunflower oil processing plant in Dodoma. Chen Jiawei, General Manager of Mainland Group Tanzania Co., Limited, extended a warm reception and accompanied the delegation throughout the visit.

 During the inspection, Chen Jiawei provided Minister Kapinga and her delegation with a detailed introduction to the overall plant scale, full pressing & refining production techniques and standardized quality control system. Mainland’s Dodoma Sunflower Oil Project was officially commissioned in July 2025. Equipped with complete modern pressing, refining, and warehousing facilities, the plant reaches an annual output of 35,000 metric tons of sunflower oil and 70,000 metric tons of sunflower seed meal. By leveraging local raw material resources in Tanzania, the project not only enhances the added value of agricultural products but also effectively promotes increased production and income for surrounding farmers.

During the visit, Chen Jiawei presented Minister Kapinga with Merrin Farm sunflower oil, a brand owned by the Group, and introduced its production process and product advantages. Minister Kapinga expressed strong appreciation for this locally processed deep-processed product. The two leaders took a commemorative photo together, capturing a friendly moment of exchange during the on-site inspection.

In follow-up discussions, Minister Kapinga fully recognized the plant’s modern production equipment, standardized quality control procedures, and mature operational performance. She highly appreciated Mainland Group’s long-term local commitment to agricultural deep processing, and praised the Group’s outstanding contributions to upgrading domestic manufacturing, improving the full agricultural industrial chain, and stabilizing farmers’ household income.

The Minister stated that industrialization and agricultural product value addition are two core pillars of Tanzania’s 2050 Development Vision. The Tanzanian government will consistently provide all-round policy support for Mainland Group’s local capacity expansion and industrial upgrading. Joint efforts between government and enterprises will drive high-quality development of domestic manufacturing and advance the country’s medium and long-term economic development goals.

Going forward, Mainland Group will continue to root itself in the Tanzanian market, adhere to high-quality development, steadily expand its deep-processing operations across multiple agricultural product categories, and continuously inject momentum into the modernization of local agriculture, industrialization construction, and regional economic development.
