  • Which oilseeds are used in Ethiopia?
  • In Ethiopia, nine oilseeds are important for edible oil consumption. These include noug, gomenzer, linseed, soybean, sunflower, castor, sesame, ground nut, and cotton. Over the last 60 years, 156 varieties with their production practices have been registered.
  • How much edible oil did Ethiopia import in 1973?
  • In 1973, Ethiopia imported 1000 tons of edible oil. During the same period, the per capita consumption was 1.04?kg/year for rural and 8.04?kg/year for urban consumers.
  • Do you need a centrifuge for peanut oil refining?
  • It is common to use a day tank holding enough oil for one day refining needs and also allows analysis of the crude needed for the lot of oil (color, free fatty acids, and gums). Part B shows the refining sequence. As peanut oil is not degummed, a centrifuge for separation of gums is not needed.
  • How much oil does Ethiopia eat a year?
  • In Ethiopia, the per capita consumption of edible oil was 1.04 kg/year for rural and 8.04 kg/year for urban consumers during 1973. During the same period, Ethiopia imported 1000 tons of edible oil, with an average area under oilseeds of 924,633 ha.
  • What is the total number of oil factories in Ethiopia?
  • A recent survey indicates that there are 227 oil factories distributed throughout the country but mostly in and around the capital. In many cases vegetable oil is also fortified with vitamins.
  • Is there an edible oil shortage in eastern Africa?
  • In the 1970s, FAO forecasted that there would be an edible oil shortage in Eastern Africa. To address this, they set up experimental plots and pilot production of oil palm at Gelesha, which is now in Mizing Zone of the Gambella Region.
