Ethiopia Cooking and Edible Oils Market 2025

The Ethiopian cooking and edible oils market is positioned for significant expansion, projected to grow by USD 2.5 billion at a 14% CAGR through 2030, driven by a combination of government-led industrialization and shifting consumer preferences. The administration’s import substitution strategy, modeled after its successful wheat program, is catalyzing major investments in domestic production capacity through integrated agricultural processing parks and large-scale refining facilities. This push for self-sufficiency has attracted foreign investment interest, exemplified by Norwegian firm Norfund’s USD 21 million injection into local producer SAMANU to develop oilseed crushing capacity and smallholder farmer networks, though market distortions persist due to rampant hoarding practices that artificially inflate urban prices and prompt government crackdowns.

Despite inflationary pressures driving substantial unit price increases, the market demonstrates resilience as consumers transition from informal unpackaged oils to branded packaged alternatives, valuing consistency and perceived quality amid economic uncertainty. This formalization trend creates opportunities for both domestic producers and potential foreign entrants, though challenges remain in balancing price stability with the capital-intensive nature of local production scaling. The competitive landscape is evolving toward increased vertical integration, with firms like SAMANU developing full supply chains from oilseed cultivation to refining, while distribution strategies must account for Ethiopia’s persistent informality and price sensitivity that favors larger, cost-effective pack sizes.
