  • Where is oil palm grown in Ethiopia?
  • Oil palm was introduced in Ethiopia at Gelesha in Gambella Region, Omorate and Weito in Southern region, and Bako in Oromia region. Although it has the potential to solve the edible oil shortage, it is not yet cultivated at a large scale in Ethiopia.
  • 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.
  • Why is oil palm production important?
  • In the long term, oil palm production is indispensable to feed the ever-growing population. Therefore, the ultimate solution for edible oil self-sufficiency for most customers can only come from the high-yielding perennial oil palm with high yield and less production cost.
  • Which oils only need a semi-refining process?
  • Noug, groundnut and sunflower seed oils need only to pass through a semi-refinery system namely neutralizing, washing, and drying. Gomenzer, cottonseed, sesame, and linseed oils must pass through a full refining process (degumming, neutralizing, washing, drying, bleaching, and deodorization).
  • Why is sunflower a good source of edible oil?
  • Sunflower is one of the largest sources of edible oils in the world, next to soybean and oil palm. As reported by Pilorge (2020), sunflower is the third oilseed produced in the world, the fourth vegetable oil, and third oilseed meal among protein feed sources.
  • Is oil palm a solution to a shortage of edible oil?
  • Research and development work on oil palm should be reinitiated as soon as possible, as it is the ultimate solution for the shortage of edible oil nationally due to its high productivity and low price.
