  • What are some oilseeds produced in Ethiopia?
  • Ethiopia has favorable agro-climatic conditions for the cultivation of oil seeds and is one of the centers of origins in the world for several oil crop plants like rape seed, Niger/noug seed, and castor beans. Other oilseeds like linseed, soybeans, groundnuts, sunflower, and safflower seeds are produced in different parts of the country.
  • What is the status of oil seed production and yield gaps in Ethiopia?
  • The objective of the study was to analyze the status of oil seed production and yield gaps in Ethiopia. The data were analyzed using descriptive and econometrics analysis. In Ethiopia, oil seed production and productivity has shown an increasing rate while cropland area growth rate was negative and 3.8 percent.
  • What is Ethiopia's largest edible oil plant?
  • In February 2021, Phibella Industrial Complex, Ethiopia¡¯s largest edible oil facility, begun production of refined palm oil. This giant edible oil plant now has capacity to produce 1,500 MT of cooking oil per day and at full production should cover 60 percent of Ethiopia¡¯s demand for cooking oil.
  • What seeds are used for cooking oil in Ethiopia?
  • Niger seed, cottonseed, soybeans, and sunflower seeds are used mainly to locally produce cooking oils. The remainder is made up of rapeseed, linseed, and groundnuts. In February 2021, Phibella Industrial Complex, Ethiopia¡¯s largest edible oil facility, begun production of refined palm oil.
  • What is the growth rate of oil seed in Ethiopia?
  • In Ethiopia, oil seed production and productivity has shown an increasing rate while cropland area growth rate was negative and 3.8 percent. Between 2006/07 and 2020/21, average actual yield growth is 87.3, 74.2, 133.8, 63, -3 and 53.7 percent for groundnuts, linseed, neug, rapeseed, sesame, and sunflower respectively.
  • 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.
