  • Does Ethiopia produce edible oil?
  • Despite Ethiopia being a major producer and exporter of oilseeds, it imports more than three-fourths of its domestic edible oil consumption. The sector has potential due to the increase in demand. Small scale millers currently supply more than 60% of the domestically produced edible oil. One of the main inputs here is noug.

  • As a result, there was a lively discussion on the production of virgin oil versus refined oil. According to international standards, virgin oil can be exported; however, in Ethiopia this is not allowed. Due to the current machinery a healthy produc- tion of edible oil cannot be guaranteed. Within this study we comply with the Ethiopian standards.
