  • 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.
  • 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 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.
  • What is the third oilseed produced in the world?
  • Sunflower is the third oilseed produced in the world, the fourth vegetable oil and third oilseed meal among protein feed sources. This is because sunflower is one of the largest sources of edible oils in the world, next to soybean and oil palm.
  • How is edible oil processed?
  • Edible oil is processed by pressing or extracting it from seeds. This can be done mechanically or using organic chemicals. The process begins by cleaning the seeds and conditioning them if necessary, followed by dehulling. The oil is then mechanically pressed to expel it from seeds containing ¡Ý30% oil.
  • Where are edible oil processing factories located?
  • The following maps show the geographic locations of edible oil processing factories in Ethiopia, with details for the various high-density regions (Addis Ababa City, Amhara Region, and Oromia Region).
