Other oilseeds like linseed, soybeans, groundnuts, sunflower, and safflower seeds are produced in different parts of the country.
  • 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.
  • Where are edible oil processing factories located in Ethiopia?
  • 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.
  • Is Ethiopia's oil and natural gas sector at a cross-road?
