  • 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.
  • 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.
  • What is the process of refining canola oil?
  • Canola oil refining is the process to remove undesirable substances like phospholipids, free fatty acids, sterols, waxes, oxidation products, water, aromatic compounds, and pigments from crude canola oil, which adversely affect the quality and durability of the oil.
  • Where are edible oil mills located in Ethiopia?
  • In Ethiopia, edible oil mills are located in various regions. In Adama and Bahir Dar, small millers or crushers are organized in clusters or cooperatives. Additionally, 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.
  • How is canola oil extracted?
  • Canola oil is extracted using two main methods: Mechanical Press and Solvent Extraction. In the Mechanical Press method, Canola oilseeds are pressed in a series of Screw Presses / Expellers. This process does not use chemicals and leaves approximately 5-7% oil in the residual Cake/Meal.
  • 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.
