  • Is edible oil refining a new sector in Ethiopia?
  • Recommendations Although edible oil refining is not a new sector in Ethiopia, there are currently very few edible oil factories with the knowledge, technical and equipment capacity, human resources, and supply chain required to expect fortification of edible oils to flourish.
  • Should oil be refined in Ethiopia?
  • According to the Ethiopian quality standard, all edible oil must be refined, although a number of specif- ic oilseeds can be semi-refined (see Appendix 1). Despite this requirement, many millers are selling crude oil particularly to the low income class. The government is planning to ban the sale of crude oil as from next year.
  • 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.
  • Why is a mapping study important for edible oil fortification in Ethiopia?
  • This mapping study focused in the administrative regions of Ethiopia where oil production takes place to provide prioritization of efforts for further planning, technical assistance, monitoring, and research throughout the forthcoming edible oil fortification program. This mapping serves as a baseline to that effect.
