  • 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.
  • Does cooking oil need to be refined in Ethiopia?
  • According to the Ethiopia standard all edible oil must be refined, although a number pf specific oil seed must be semi refining. Several efforts geared towards addressing the growing demand for cooking oil with locally produced oil is well underway. CHAPTER THEREE – MARKET AND DEMAND ANALYSIS 3.1. Market Investigation 3.1.1.
  • How many oil refineries are there in Ethiopia?
  • Currently there are about 40 refining and semi refineries known to operate in a medium and large scale oil mill firms in the country. As it is depicted in the table below, the edible oil volume of production in Ethiopia shows erratic nature from the year 2007 to 2012 expect in the year 2011 which shows significant increase.
  • 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.
