  • What type of oil is used in South Africa?
  • South Africa's oils and fats manufacturing sector is dominated by vegetable oils and fat, and sunflower oil is the most widely consumed vegetable oil in the country. South Africa is a net importer of edible oils, which include sunflower, soybean and palm oil as it does not produce enough to meet demand.
  • Does South Africa have a market for essential and vegetable oils?
  • Despite South Africa¡¯s advantage to meet the growing global demand for essential and vegetable oils, only a fraction of South Africa¡¯s potential essential and vegetable oils are being exported to regional and international markets.
  • Why are essential and vegetable oil exports a problem in South Africa?
  • Consistency of production volumes and the quality of the oils have been cited as key barriers to exploiting South Africa¡¯s essential and vegetable oil export potential.
  • How can South Africa become a global supplier of essential and vegetable oils?
  • Conformity assessment procedures include testing, calibration, inspection, certification, verification, and validation. South Africa is endowed with more than 21000 plant species, making it the third most biologically diverse country globally. Thus, it has the potential to become a major global supplier of essential and vegetable oils.
  • Can vegetable seed oil be dried in South Africa?
  • Contamination through foreign matter, weeds, or other undesired plants can have a detrimental effect on the quality and acceptability of the final oils. Although experiments on drying harvested vegetable seed oil material have been tried, it is not prevalent in South Africa.
  • How many vegetable oil production systems are there?
  • Together, the 112 vegetable oil production systems represented here are responsible for production of 71.3% of the world's vegetable oil (Supplementary Data 17). Fig. 2.
