Uganda now produces cooking oil from avocadoes

Local agri-businesses in Uganda have begun producing healthy and nutritious edible oil out of avocadoes. This is aimed at plugging the shortage caused by the conflict in Ukraine. The African nation produces a third of 120,000 metric tonnes of oil needed annually in the country.

AFRICA can feed itself and even export to other continents, afterall we have the most fertile soil in the world.......welldone Uganda 😍🕺💃💃👌👌👌👌

[@bantuboy96]

Feed Africa 1st before others y u so small minded

[@midnyte6195]

Oh wow, that's something different!I hope it turns into something bigger and also produce more jobs for the people 😊

[@marschlosser4540]

@J C Different for Uganda, maybe. I never saw how they do it in Mexico, where the avocado is native, but they have done it long before the Spanish showed up. Chia (Mexican large seed) is usually extracted by crushing and simmering the seeds.

[@impalabirungi6079]

Very wise man. Africa must stop depending on countries abroad. I think this Ukrainian war is a wake up call. Africa is full of very educated women and men who are capable of changing the world. This is a blessing to Africa.

[@ugonwanguma8665]

Good move. I have eaten avocados from Uganda they are delicious and avocado oil is healthy oil.More progressive moves I wish you.

[@mapulaletselane2211]

Good work indeed

[@george4YHWH]

This is testimony that we under utilise our available resources while we put emphasis on imports. This truly happens in a country marginally free of western control.

[@mujunifred4757]

Healthy oil, we need more innovation in my country Uganda and Africa at large nice to see this. I think the government should support this man instead to be helped by foreigners

🥑 oil is more of cosmetic use that cooking benefits.

[@vivianaugusta3000]

Amazing! Congratulations to this business, I wish you nothing but the best! Greetings from Brazil.

[@Didmasela]

Uganda should be able to produce it's own cooking oil because it has abundant fertile soil to produce millions of tons of avocados and sunflower on mechanised farms. Currently, avocados and sunflower are produced on subsistence basis. Uganda also has the agricultural potential to become food self sufficient and ensure food security. What is preventing large scale mechanised agricultre is the endemic corruption and poor leadership by the previous governments and current government.

[@Ukundahome]

wow amazing since its one of the healthiest oils to use....

[@mwanahamisopwoko8663]

While in kenya avocado's are exported to China. I pity Kenyans.

[@io9883]

The government should build power plants, reduce electricity bills, and provide funding to build automated factories for mass production, the current way of production is inefficient

[@denisebarfield9136]

@io.3w ago. Why do u need a corrupt government who has nothing for its own people? Please stop depending on the government to do this and that. It's we the people who need each other to help each other.

This will take time to grow, but oil can be made from corn, coconut, seemed, etc. Yet not cooking without oil is not a bad thing, I actually don't although I have access, I will have natural virgin oil or fats though

[@wlkmwlkm3381]

Exactly

[@proverbalizer]

Corn is a terrible and unhealthy source of oil. It takes like 100 ears of corn to produce 5 tablespoons, not to mention benzene, bleaching and other toxic chemicals involved in the extraction process. Coconut, palm fruit, olives, and Avocado are naturally oily and healthy oil can easily be extracted without toxic industrial chemicals
