  • 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 oil is imported by Egypt?
  • 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. Palm oil is imported from Indonesia and Malaysia after being refined, bleached and deodorized (RBD).
  • 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.
  • When was crude oil produced from cottonseed?
  • Due to the progress in cotton ginning industry and the increase of cottonseed production as a byproduct of this industry, the production of a crude oil from cottonseed has been established in USA in 1799 (Jennings, 2010).
  • Why is vegetable oil a problem in Egypt?
  • Edible vegetable oil production in Egypt has faced countless problems. During the 1960s, Egypt was independent in palatable vegetable oils, whereby self-sufficiency proportion was 95% (Hassan and Sahfique, 2010). This proportion has declined to be 31.6% in 2007.
  • How much oil does Egypt eat a year?
  • Currently, Egypt consumes about 2.5 million tons of edible oils annually. Only, about 48.5 thousand tons of this quantity is produced by oilseed extraction in local extraction plants. About half of this quantity is produced mainly from cottonseed produced as a byproduct of cotton ginning industry.
