Unprecedented Partnership: BBF Group and Tanzania Rural Energy Agency Collaborate to Promote Sustainable Practices
On last Thursday (22), a monumental assembly marked the headquarters of BBF Group in São Paulo. With the presence of a delegation of 18 executive members from the Tanzania Rural Energy Agency, a high-level meeting was established. After all, the meeting was a joint initiative of the Embassy of Tanzania in Brazil and the Beyond Africa Group.
BBF Group, known for its integrated operations in sustainable agribusiness, from palm cultivation to renewable energy generation, opened its doors to share its innovative business model.
Sustainable Practices and Promising Synergies
The event allowed for the effective exchange of ideas and the identification of potential synergies, given Tanzania’s energy matrix, which is based on 83% renewable sources, mainly biomass.

Tanzania, located in East Africa, has an installed generation capacity of 27GW, of which 23GW comes from renewable sources. Additionally, like Brazil, Tanzania is a producer of palm oil, also known as “dende”. In 2020, Tanzania had about 650,000 hectares of palm plantations and produced around 350,000 tons of palm oil. Despite being the most consumed cooking oil in Tanzania, it is still not used for renewable energy generation.
Recognition and Progress in Renewable Energy
The Tanzanian delegation expressed their admiration for the work done by BBF Group in the Amazon region, especially regarding the recovery of degraded forest areas. One of the key features highlighted was the generation of clean energy for over 140,000 inhabitants of the Northern region, served by Isolated Systems, utilizing biofuels produced from palm oil.
The executives plan to maintain active contact to boost the identified synergies and exchange best practices on the renewable energy agenda in a bilateral model. Thus, this partnership promises a greener and more sustainable future, broadening horizons for renewable energy production worldwide.
