  • 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.
  • 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.
  • What kind of oil is used in Ethiopia?
  • All other oilseed crops (soybeans, linseed, groundnuts, cottonseed etc.) grown in Ethiopia are almost entirely used domestically. 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.
  • 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.
