  • How much does a small-scale palm oil processing mill cost?
  • The findings show that the average cost of procuring equipment and its installations for a small-scale palm oil processing mill were estimated at N623,650.00. The gross margin return from this study was N44,000.00 while net return was N14,000.00.
  • 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.
  • Is small-scale oil palm processing profitable?
  • About 34% and 32% of the processors have WASC and Primary School Leaving Certificates respectively as the educational qualification. About 50% of the processors have 16-20 years experience in oil palm processing. The study concludes that small-scale oil palm processing is profitable and can also be a source of employment.
