Product Overview
Our sunflower oil is pressed from high-oleic sunflower seed and processed under strict food-safety controls. The refined grade is light golden in colour, neutral in taste and odour, and has a high smoke point that makes it ideal for frying and everyday cooking. It is naturally rich in vitamin E and unsaturated fats, non-GMO, and free from artificial additives. Buyers can choose crude sunflower oil for further industrial refining or fully refined (RBD) oil that is ready for retail and food-service use.
Because we manufacture the oil ourselves in Tanzania, we control quality from seed to shipment and can supply consistent volumes on repeat contracts. Each consignment is prepared for export with a certificate of analysis, and third-party inspection by SGS or Intertek can be arranged on request.

Applications
Sunflower oil is one of the most versatile edible oils on the market. It is used for domestic and commercial cooking and deep-frying, as a base for margarine and shortenings, in salad dressings and mayonnaise, and across the wider food-processing industry. Its light profile also makes it a popular ingredient in cosmetics and personal-care formulations, and the crude grade is used as a feedstock for biodiesel.
Packaging & Loading
We pack to suit your market and logistics. Bulk buyers typically take a flexitank of 20–24 MT inside a 20ft container, or ISO tanks for larger programmes. We also fill 190kg steel drums, 20-litre jerrycans, and retail PET bottles from 1 to 5 litres, palletised for distribution. Loadability and net weights are confirmed on the proforma invoice for each order.
Quality & Compliance
Every batch is produced under food-safety management controls and shipped with a certificate of analysis and certificate of origin. Health certificates and phytosanitary documentation are provided where required by the destination country, and independent pre-shipment inspection can be added on request so buyers receive exactly the specification they contracted.
Export Markets
Pitsonel Ltd ships sunflower oil to buyers across Asia, Europe, the UAE and Africa, dispatched through the ports of Dar es Salaam and Mombasa. Whether you need a single container for trial or a recurring monthly programme, our team will structure the shipment and payment terms to match your requirements.
Sourcing & Quality Assurance
Behind every shipment is a sourcing network built over years of working with farmers, cooperatives and processors across the region. We select each lot for condition and consistency, then clean, grade and condition it to the standard your market expects. Because we follow the crop from field to port, we can hold quality steady across repeat orders and give buyers the confidence to plan their own production with certainty.
Food safety and traceability sit at the centre of how we operate. Consignments are prepared under hygienic conditions, tested against the agreed specification, and documented with a certificate of analysis and certificate of origin. Where a destination requires extra paperwork — phytosanitary certificates, fumigation records or health certificates — we arrange it as part of the order so clearance at the other end is smooth.
Logistics & Long-Term Partnership
Reliable delivery is what turns a first order into a lasting relationship. We coordinate packing, container loading and shipment from the ports of Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, and keep you updated at each milestone so there are no surprises. Whether you need a single trial container of Sunflower Oil or a scheduled monthly programme, our team structures pricing, payment and delivery around the way your business actually runs.
