  • 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 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 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.
  • 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.
  • Why is a mapping study important for edible oil fortification in Ethiopia?
  • This mapping study is important for prioritizing efforts in the edible oil fortification program in Ethiopia. It focuses on the administrative regions where oil production takes place, providing a baseline for further planning, technical assistance, monitoring, and research.
  • Who conducted the study on Ethiopia's edible oil industry?
  • This study has been conducted by the Ethiopian Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Industry Development Institute (FBPIDI) in partnership with the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), based on the 5-year plan of action for fortification of edible oil.
