  • What technology do Ethiopian Millers use?
  • Most, if not all, millers in Ethiopia use technologies (cold pressing machines) that are imported from China and India; they are primitive and characterised by high levels of wear and tear, power consumption and product loss.
  • How many vegetable and animal oil producers are there in Ethiopia?
  • The available estimates vary. The 2009 CSA industry surveys estimated that there are 259 small-scale and 33 medium and large- scale vegetable and animal oil producers in Ethiopia.
  • Do Millers comply with Ethiopian Standards?
  • Within this study we comply with the Ethiopian standards. Some millers have already installed some sort of semi-refined technology, however they mention an increase in cost price and are therefore not able to compete with millers that sell crude oil. Unfair compe- tition due to a lack of enforcement creates tension.
  • 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.
