  • Does Ethiopia have a potential for soybean production?
  • Ethiopia has huge potential for soybean production . Although Ethiopia started soybean research and production in the early 1950s, the production status and area coverage is below its potential .
  • Why is soybean a bottleneck in Ethiopia?
  • In northeastern Ethiopia, soybean [Glycine max (L) Merril] is one of the most important legume crops. However, one of the manufacturing bottlenecks is the lack of high-quality seeds. Quality seed production necessitates the development of seeds from improved types under optimal growth conditions and storage for the shortest time possible.
  • What oilseeds are used in Ethiopia?
  • Nine oilseeds namely noug, gomenzer, linseed, soybean, sunflower, castor, sesame, ground nut and cotton are important in Ethiopia for edible oil consumption. During the last 60 years, 156 varieties with their production practices were registered. Sesame contributes significantly to the foreign currency earnings next to coffee.
  • Where are edible oil processing factories located in Ethiopia?
  • In addition, 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). These large-scale factories have a designed production capacity greater than the annual edible oil demand within Ethiopia.
