According to international standards, virgin oil can be exported; however, in Ethiopia this is not allowed. Due to the current machinery a healthy produc- tion of edible oil cannot be guaranteed. Within this study we comply with the Ethiopian standards.
Should oil be refined in Ethiopia?

Despite this requirement, many millers are selling crude oil particularly to the low income class. The government is planning to ban the sale of crude oil as from next year.
What technology do Ethiopian Millers use?
