  • 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 hinders local production of edible oils in Ethiopia?
  • In addition, the dominance of imported palm oil hinders local production of edible oils. Most edible oil factories, regardless of size are being underutilized and not operating at full capacity.
  • 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.
  • What is the source of cooking oil in Ethiopia?
  • In Ethiopia, edible oil for consumption is mainly imported from different countries. In calendar year 15, Ethiopia imported 479,000 metric tons of cooking oil, valued at nearly $474 million dollars. Of this imported oil, more than 90 percent by volume was palm oil, most of which comes from Indonesia and Malaysia.
  • What is refining in edible oil processing?
  • Refining is the last step in edible oil processing. We are committed to making every drop of oil safe, healthy and nutritious. Value-adding by-products may be produced from processing stages like Degumming, Neutralization, Bleaching, Dewaxing/Winterization and Deodorization.
