  • Is edible oil refining a new industry in Ethiopia?
  • Although edible oil refining is not a new industry in Ethiopia, the sector is currently underdeveloped. There are very few edible oil factories with the necessary knowledge, technical and equipment capacity, human resources, and supply chain to expect fortification of edible oils to flourish.
  • Where are edible oil mills located in Ethiopia?
  • In Ethiopia, edible oil mills are located in various regions. In Adama and Bahir Dar, small millers or crushers are organized in clusters or cooperatives. Additionally, several large edible oil processing factories are under construction or in a pilot phase, located in Bahir Dar, Debre Markos, Burie, Wolkitie, Sebeta, and Dire Dawa.
  • What is the market segmentation of Ethiopian edible oil?
  • Market Segmentation and Destination The market segmentation of Ethiopian edible oil depends on the destination where the product is to be sold. In Ethiopia there is shortage of edible oil and almost more than 95% of demand is being fulfilled by import from abroad. In addition, Ethiopia has no experience in exporting refined edible.
  • What is the demand for edible oil in Ethiopia?
  • Demand - Supply Gap Despite of Ethiopia¡¯s favorable geographical condition and potential areas for oil seed production even for export, and existence of many firms engaged in edible oil production, it is fact that more than 98% demand for edible oil is being satisfied by imported edible oil as exhibited in the past five years.
  • Can Ethiopia scale up its production of edible oil?
  • Ethiopia has a huge potential for scaling up its production of edible oil; favorable agro-climatic condition for increased oilseed cultivation, the labor-incentive nature of the sub-sector, a conductive business environment and the huge local demand. Despite this potential, however, the edible oil processing industry remains underdeveloped.
  • What hinders local production of edible oils in Ethiopia?
  • In addition, the dominance of imported palm oil hinders local production of edible oils. Most edible oil factories, regardless of size are being underutilized and not operating at full capacity.
