Edible oils continue to dominate cooking ingredients and meals. Demand is gradually shifting from palm oil to sunflower oil, as the latter is regarded as healthier by a growing number of local consumers.
In 2023, cooking ingredients in Ethiopia has been significantly affected by economic challenges. High inflation has hiked up unit prices, particularly impacting the more non-essential food categories.
People living in rural areas tend to eat two main meals per day and these are usually quite heavy, especially for manual workers like farmers. Many people in rural areas have direct access to locally cultivated fresh food, so they eat relatively little packaged food.
As a result of elevated inflation, local consumers are shifting towards more affordable brands in cooking ingredients, particularly edible oils.
The distribution of packaged food between the country’s major urban areas is relatively efficient and well organised. The transportation of goods between Greater Accra, Takoradi, Kumasi and, to a lesser extent, Tamale and other major towns and cities is generally quick and trouble-free.
Over the forecast period, the shift from informal to modern retail, particularly in cities like Addis Ababa, is expected to drive demand for packaged food products. As inflation stabilises, consumers' increased disposable income is also likely to boost sales.
