  • Can Egypt produce sunflower oil self-sufficiency?
  • Sunflower crop was introduced in Egypt in 1987, and the oil content of its seed ranges between 39 and 46% (The Arab league for Nutrition Industries, 2007). The Minister of Supply and Internal Trade indicates that Egypt will accomplish sunflower oil creation self-sufficiency by nurturing lands and refining edible oils in bordering Sudan.
  • What is the difference between conventional and non-conventional oilseeds?
  • The first is conventional oilseed that can yield oils for every day edible purposes such as sunflower oil, canola oil, and soybean oil. The other class of oilseeds is non-conventional that yield oils that have some beneficial functional properties such as flaxseed oil and is normally used in rather small doses.
  • Which vegetable oil is imported by Egypt?
  • Table 2: Quantities of various vegetable oils imported by Egypt from 2015 to 2018 in ton). It is clear that palm oil is the major oil imported by Egypt whereby it represents about 60% of total imported oils in 2018 while the quantity imported from corn oil is the least being about 3% in the same year.
  • Does Egypt rely on cotton seeds for oil production?
  • Egypt does not rely on upon them for oil production. Cotton crop that is one of the dual-purpose crops is generally grown for textile industry. The cotton seeds are then utilized to produce crude cottonseed oil either by pressing or by solvent extraction or by both of the two technologies together.
  • Which oilseeds can yield edible oils?
  • Oilseeds which can yield edible oils are also categorized into two subclasses. The first is conventional oilseed that can yield oils for every day edible purposes such as sunflower oil, canola oil, and soybean oil.
  • Which oilseed is not suitable for human consumption?
  • Examples of oilseed that yields oils non-suitable for human consumption are high erucic acid rapeseed, Jatropha, Jojoba, and castor oilseed. Large-scale planting of rapeseed was first reported in Europe in the thirteenth century (Przybylski et al., 2005). Rapeseed is obtained from several species of the genus Brassica (Cruciferae family).
