  • 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.
  • What vegetable oils are produced in 2024?
  • The production of vegetable oils such as coconut, cottonseed, olive, palm kernel, peanut, rapeseed, sunflower, soybean, and palm oils reached a combined total of 223.8 million metric tons (mt) in 2024. Soybean and palm oils were the most common oils produced in recent years (Figure 1). Figure 1.
  • Can Ethiopia achieve self-sufficiency in edible oil by 2015?
  • The Ethiopian government is aiming to achieve self-sufficiency in edible oil by 2015. The aim of this research was to develop sustainable business models for millers, increase their competitiveness, and enhance food safety and security in Ethiopia within the changing policy context.
  • 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.
