Review on Quality and Safety of Edible Oil

  • Is groundnut a good source of protein in Ethiopia?
  • Profile of groundnut in Ethiopia Groundnut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) also known as peanut is the world’s fourth most important source of edible oil and third most important source of vegetable protein (Govindaraj, Kumar, & Basu, 2009; Upadhyaya, Reddy, Gowda, & Singh, 2006 ).
  • Does Ethiopia grow groundnut?
  • The fact that Ethiopia possesses varying climatic conditions results in the cultivation of a wide range oil crops including groundnut. Though groundnut is introduced to Ethiopia recently in the early 1920s (Daniel, 2009 ), currently it accounts 13.64% of total oil seed produced.
  • Where does cooking oil come from in Ethiopia?
  • Edible oil for consumption in Ethiopia is mainly imported from different countries. In calendar year (CY) 15, Ethiopia imported 479,000 metric tons of cooking oil, valued at nearly $474 million dollars. Of this imported oil, more than 90 percent by volume was palm oil, most of which comes from Indonesia and Malaysia.
  • What is the yield of groundnuts in Ethiopia?
  • The yield of groundnuts in Ethiopia compared to other countries is extremely low, i.e., below 1.49 t ha −1 (CSA, 2021), as compared to average yields on a global scale, i.e., 1.65 t ha −1 (FAO, 2021). This yield, however, is much lower than the yield that could be obtained under ideal management conditions (2.4–3.0 t ha −1) (MOANR, 2016).
