  • 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.
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 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.
