ETHIOPIA

I. GENERAL

Located in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia is the largest country in the Eastern sub- region next to the Republic of Sudan. The massive highlands of mountain ranges and plateaus are divided by the Great Rift Valley, which runs southwest to northeast. Within the Rift Valley formation are a number of lakes, streams, river basins and the surrounding lowlands, steppes or semi-deserts of diverse terrain and escarpments gifted with fairly suitable climate and weather conditions which naturally host a wide range of vegetation and wild life.

The topography of Ethiopia is characterized by fascinating echo-system. There, you find snows in the Simen Mountains at the peak of Ras Dashen at one site and an ever-erupting volcanic activities and fire- lakes in Ertale in the lower depression zone of the Afar region at another site. Ethiopia is also known to be the origin of coffee tree, which derived its name from Kaffa, a district in South western part of Ethiopia, where the plant is naturally grown to this date.

Whatever stated here is not exaggeration. It may sound strange to the readers, but seeing is believing; as the saying goes. To tip just a few points to your imagination, Ethiopia is the land of 13th months of sunshine where sunrise and sunset is visible for more than 12 months. You may say how more than 12 months could be possible. That is it. You may find things in Ethiopia, many times, either unique or of a mosaic of extremely variant features. The country entered the Third Millennium recently, i.e., on 11th of September 2007. Parallel to modernity and the faces of civilization you can see the real faces of old traditions and primitive-hood, riches and poor reside not far-apart.

People here never feel their ethnic, cultural, religious, etc. differences. Over 77 million populations constituting various nations, nationalities and ethnic group lead peaceful life in harmony for centuries now, despite these differences. That is why Ethiopia is known by many outsiders as a cultural museum.

If one speaks about ancient empires and civilization, Ethiopia is the one to mention in this sub-region. The obelisks of Aksum the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, several other standing monuments and sculptures clearly witness this remote civilization. With a number of archeological findings coming forth, some of them dating as long as 5.9 million years, researchers on this discipline imagine Ethiopia as the origin of human settlement on Earth. Addis Ababa, the Capital City is a seat of African Union and also other United Nations regional organizations and representative office. Each year the city hosts a number of the AU sessions, and other regional and International conferences and meetings.

Of over 1.14 million Square kilometers of land area, about 13.2 million hectare or 12 per cent is cultivable, 40% is pastureland and this together with seasonal rainfall and abundant water resource has made agriculture the mainstay of the country's economy. It contributes 47% to the GDP, 80% to export and employs 80% of labor force. Water is the most untapped resource. A dozen of large rivers, including Blue Nile which flow along the country, serve as a life line for millions of people in the lower riparian countries. That is why people often call Ethiopia as the water tower of the Horn.

Livestock is another important resource the country is known for. Ethiopia ranks first in Africa and tenth in the world in livestock population. This sector also provides boundless opportunity for investors to look for investment in areas such as cattle breeding, dairy farming, poultry, abattoirs, tannery, manufacturing of leather and leather products and so on.

Businessmen interested on trade exchange can also develop partnership with several Ethiopians, engaged on foreign trade. Exportable are mainly dominated by agricultural products such as coffee, oil seeds and pulses, hides and skin and in manufacturing, textile and garments and leather and leather products also make sizable contribution to export.

Though Ethiopia is one of the least developed and poor countries of the World, the country is now at a crossroad to come out of this vicious circle. Investment is rising, the economy is growing at an unprecedented rate and tangible progress has been recorded in the last decade. In short, Ethiopia is turning to the land of opportunity; both local and foreign investors are in venture in business now, the number tourists arrival is also increasing at significant rate.

We respectfully call on you to invest in Ethiopia and benefit a huge investment potential, reliable macro-economic stability and wide market prospects; visit the country and enjoy Ethiopian hospitality as well.

III. FOREIGN TRADE

A focus is here made to give highlights on export sector. Agricultural products such as coffee, oilseeds, pulses, fruits and vegetables, spices, meat, live animals, natural gum, tea and cotton are the main exportable item of the sector currently. Export of manufacturing sector constitute textile and garments, cotton yarn and fabrics, leather and leather products, other products such as flowers and minerals (gold, tantalum). To give highlights on the main exportable:

Coffee

Ethiopian coffee is exclusively of the Arabica type, the type is mostly used for blending other coffees in the World market for its special blend and taste. It is organic and exported in its green form. About 50 % of coffee production is used for local consumption; annual export has not yet exceeded 250,000 tons.

Oilseeds

Oilseeds grown in Ethiopia comprises sesame, Niger seed, Ground nuts, Rape seed, Sunflower, Linseed, Castor seed, Pumpkin seed and Mustered seed.

Sesame and Niger seed are the dominant ones and Ethiopia ranks among the top 5 World producers of Sesame. Most of the Sesame producer farmers do not use chemical fertilizers and other chemical inputs and hence the product has great potential for sell under organic labeling. The whitish Humera type is known in the World market for its` sweet taste. Production and export capacity of oilseeds can be estimated at about 320, 000 tons per annum according to the Government’s plan.

Pulses

Ethiopia has a great potential for producing organic pulses to the international market. Pulses grown comprise horse beans, peas, chickpeas, lentil and haricot bean. Current production and export of pulse is estimated at 200,000 tons per annum as can be seen from the government plan.

Spices

Ethiopia’s diverse agro-climatic condition is suitable for the growth of both indigenous and exotic species of spices. Indigenous to the country are Kararmia or Korarima Cordoman and the Ethiopian long pepper. Others such as Ginger, Cumin, Coriander, Chili, Anis, Cardoman and several other exotic breeds are also widely grown.

Fruits and Vegetables and Flowers

Production and export of various types of tropical fruits, vegetables and cut flowers is widely practiced as a result sweet able agro-ecological conditions. The Ethiopian soil is ideal for the growth of bobby beans, red onion, papaya, banana, potato, asparagus, avocado, French beans, mango and several others. Major vegetables export include green beans, okra, melon, white and red onions, shallots, cabbage, leeks, beetroots, carrots, green chilies, tomatoes and lettuce. Main exportable fruits are oranges, mandarin, grape fruit, mangoes, guavas, lemons and limes. Over 40,000 tons of exports of fruits and vegetables are exported per annum currently.

Tea

Tea is currently grown into large plantations in an estimated area of 1,300-1,500 hectares with an annual production of 5,000 tons. There exists wide opportunity for tea cultivation to expand in the near future and the government has, at present, identified 500,000 hectares of land suitable for tea plantation. Ethiopia is endowed with suitable climate, amount of rainfall, humidity and type of soil which all together determine the quality of tea.

Textile and Garments

The textile industry is the largest manufacturing industry in the country, employing over 30,000 workers and constituting 36% of the entire product of the manufacturing industry. The main textile products manufactured in the country are cotton and nylon fabrics, acrylic yarn, woolen and waste cotton blankets and sewing thread.

At present there are eight integrated textile mills with a combined capacity of 140 million square meters of fabrics. In addition the sub-sector comprises three blanket factories and one sewing thread plant.

While the textile factories were established with primary objectives of meeting domestic demand for twills, drills, poplins, etc…they have, at present developed to a stage of exporting products to the US and EU markets with preferential market accesses provided by these countries and with the government initiatives to expand and advance the sector.

Cotton

The crop is grown through out Ethiopia below the elevations of 1,400 meters. Cotton cultivation in Ethiopia largely depends on irrigation because most of lowlands suitable for it lack adequate. There is high prospect for export in the future; current production is mostly used for local textile manufacturing.

Live Animals

There are approximately 44 million cattle, 32 million sheep, 23.33 million goats, 2.31 million camels and over 42 million poultry. Main export of live animals and meat products include, steers and yearlings, lowland sheep and goats, fresh and chilled lamb and mutton carcass, fresh and chilled goat carcass, fresh and chilled veal carcass and beef four quarters and fresh and chilled boneless veal and beef. The country can annually export over a million heads of sheep and goats and over 500, 000 heads of cattle.

For meat and meat production, currently there are five export abattoirs of international standard and five meat processing plants producing fresh and frozen as well as canned meat products such as corned beef, minced beef, stewed steak, corned mutton, goulash, etc…. These plants can supply an estimated 48,910 tons of chilled and frozen meat and 16,000 tons of canned meat annually.

Leather and Leather Products

The country’s abundant livestock population has created a wide resource base for the development of the leather industry. Ethiopia thus supplies 16- 18 million pieces of hides and skins per annum for local tanneries. Besides local market the Ethiopian goatskins (Bati- type) are known for their dense fiber texture and sheepskins for their unique natural substance of fineness, thickness, flexibility, strength and compactness of texture in the world market. Ethiopian sheepskins are used world wide for extremely high class and high value gloves which often fetch more unit price than leather garments.

There are a number of small and medium scale industries which produce leather garments, footwear and small leather articles for domestic market. There exists, however, great potential for these industries and other new investors to enter into the field and compete markets world wide, given the resource base of the country.
