This paper presents a comparative assessment of the content of fatty acids in the oil seeds of Abyssinian Guizotia grown in various agro-climatic regions. The Guizotia seeds grown in contrasting agro-climatic regions had a high and stable yield of 1.38-1.75 t/ha. The fat content in Guizotia seeds varied within 36.51-40.18%. On the rich chernozem soils of the Penza and Tambov regions, the fat content is 39.21 and 38.74%, respectively. A low amount of fat was noted on slightly humus soils of the V
