  • What raw materials are required for groundnut oil production?
  • The principal raw material for groundnut oil production is groundnut seed, which gives 44.5-50% oil and 50-55% meal. All other raw materials are also found locally. A. RAW AND AUXILIARY MATERIALS
  • 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.
  • How can edible oil meet the national demand?
  • To meet the national demand for edible oil, Ethiopia can maximize sesame export and increase production of sunflower, groundnut, and soybean in the short term. In the long term, oil palm production is crucial to feed the growing population.
  • 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.
  • Which oils require a full refining process?
  • The refining process required for different oils varies. Gomenzer, cottonseed, sesame, and linseed oils must pass through a full refining process (degumming, neutralizing, washing, drying, bleaching, and deodorization). On the other hand, Noug, groundnut, and sunflower seed oils only need to pass through a semi-refinery system.
  • What is groundnut oil used for in cooking?
  • Groundnut oil is used for cooking food. The domestic production and imports meet the Country's requirement for groundnut oil. However, the market is quite dominated by imports. In 2000-2006, the highest share achieved by domestic manufacturers was 26% in year 2003, while the average for the same period was around 11%.
