  • Why is there a shortage of edible oil in Ethiopia?
  • ), however, the production of those varieties and the crop in general is not manifested in the field, which is probably one of the reasons for the severe shortfall of edible oil in Ethiopia. This is because sunflower is one of the largest sources of edible oils in the world, next to soybean and oil palm.‌
  • How can edible oil meet the national demand?
  • In the short term, sufficient amount of edible oil to meet the national demand can come from maximizing sesame export and production of sunflower, groundnut and soybean as raw material for local industries.
