  • Can Ethiopian mustard be used as an oilseed crop?
  • This results partly in limited studies on developing Ethiopian mustard edible oil varieties. The adoption and scaling-up of this promising crop as an oilseed crop in developing countries and Mediterranean conditions can sustain the impact of climate change with the demand for food and energy debate concepts.
  • Where does Ethiopian mustard come from?
  • Ethiopian mustard ( Brassica carinata A. Braun) is mainly originated in the highlands of Ethiopia [ 1 ]. It is locally known as “Gomenzer” (“Yehabesha Gomen”) and “Hamli Adri” in Amharic and Tigrigna languages, respectively. It can well be adopted in the Mediterranean climate areas [ 2] and it is a drought and heat tolerant oilseed crop [ 3, 4 ].
  • Can Ethiopian mustard be grown under limited environmental conditions?
  • It can be emphasized that Ethiopian mustard can be grown under limited environmental conditions with minimum cultural practices and a lower cost of production. Furthermore, it has been shown that seeding rate does not affect the yield and nutritional properties of Ethiopian mustard [ 8 ]. 3.1.
  • Is Ethiopian mustard a biofuel?
  • Biochemically, Ethiopian mustard has high erucic and linoleic acids [ 2] with less saturated fatty acids. Hence, having these characteristics makes it a desirable oilseed crop that can be processed into biofuel [ 8, 9, 10 ].
