  • What is Ethiopian edible oil & oilseeds market?
  • (b) Ethiopian edible oil and oilseeds market Ethiopia consists of different climate zones and a range of altitudes from below sea level up to more than 4,500 metres above sea level. This enables it to grow a wide range of oilseeds, in which it has a long tradition (Wijnands et al., 2007).
  • Does Ethiopia produce oilseeds?
  • Ethiopia has a considerable potential for oilseeds production resulting from its diverse and favourable climate conditions as well as the existing large size of uncultivated land. Common and speciality Ethiopian oilseeds (safflower, castor beans and rapeseeds) are under high international demand due to their organic nature.
  • Why are edible oil processing companies so poor?
  • The majority of the local edible oil processing companies have no refinery systems and are predominantly characterized by inefficient and poor quality (crude oil) production. Regrettably, many of the local oil millers operate below 40 percent of their capacity due to the critical shortage of oilseeds.
  • Why are oil shortages limiting the operations of edible oil industry?
  • Chronic shortages in supply of oilseeds have been known to limit the operations of the edible oil industry27. The supply of oilseeds is seasonal and hence, processors are required to procure high stock of oilseeds during peak production season and store for year round operation.
