Only a small share of the seed crushing mills fulfill the requirements of quality oil production
Several governmental organizations conveyed a press conference to reveal that, out of about one hundred mills established after the liberalisation of the oil sector, only sisteen are esquiped to refine oil suitable for human consumption. Non-conforming mills have been closed but the issue remains for consumers, when purchasing, to identify oil safely crushed. Governmental services also lack means to properly control production.
