  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Where are edible oil processing factories located?
  • The following maps show the geographic locations of edible oil processing factories in Ethiopia, with details for the various high-density regions (Addis Ababa City, Amhara Region, and Oromia Region).
  • Where is phibela oil refinery located?
  • The Phibela Industrial PLC oil refinery is located at Bure town, in West Gojjam Zone, Amhara National Regional State, and 441 km north of Addis Ababa. It is a huge edible oil refinery not only in Ethiopia but also in Africa. Phibela Industrial Complex has been set up with an outlay of 4.5 Billion Birr.
  • How can edible oil meet the national demand?
  • In the short term, sufficient amount of edible oil to meet the national demand can come from maximizing sesame export and production of sunflower, groundnut and soybean as raw material for local industries. In the long term, oil palm production is indispensable to feed the ever-growing population.
