In this study the challenges facing edible oil producers in accessing domestic market in Tanzania were addressed. The market infrastructure (e.g. transport facilities, supportive policies and technology), cost of production(e.g. production, marketing and transportation) and lack supportive services(e.g. extension services, financial services and marketing linkages) were assessed given the fact that many challenges still facing edible oil producers in accessing domestic market in Tanzania. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was employed using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study makes use of questionnaire with structured and open- ended questions. Multi-stage and stratified sampling techniques were used for research sampling. Data collected was processed using the software package (SPSS version 19) in which descriptive statistics methods such as frequencies and mean were used. The results from the study revealed that market infrastructures to a great extent affect edible oil producers’ access to domestic market. Poor roads, poor technology and processing facilities were among a lot of issues identified during the study as the main factors (infrastructures) behind the poor participation of local farmers at the end of the value chain. The findings also showed the sensitivity of cost in improving the participation of local producers in domestic markets i.e. Transaction costs, inputs costs, crops cess etc. According to most of respondents it is very difficult for them to foot the cost of production and results into low productivity. Lastly it was observed that support services to farmers in Dodoma is at the lowest level, most of the interviewees indicated very low support services from public and private sectors. It was thus recommended a need for government and policy makers in Tanzania to address thoroughly issues of market infrastructures, cost of production and lack of supportive services to edible oil producers. It is recommended that there is a need to promote aggressively the concept of market infrastructures, cost of productions and lack of supportive services properly in order to grasp the intended rewards.
