On behalf of the Agri Business Support Facility in Ethiopia
and the Addis Abeba Chamber of Commerce, NABC organizes
a trade mission to Ethiopia. This mission will focus on the
Ethiopian herbs, spices and aromatics sector. The missions’
primary goal is to introduce Ethiopian and European
companies to each other. Activities include seminars, company
& field visits, business dinners and matchmaking activities.
NABC will organize meetings with Ethiopian partners
including producers/processors of spices, herbs & aromatics,
logistic partners, quality bureaus, banks and government
authorities.
Ethiopia
Ethiopia is rapidly developing into a reliable source of high
quality spices and agricultural products for the EU and other
overseas markets. As an exporting country, Ethiopia is still
relatively unknown to these international markets. Our
program is focused on introducing Ethiopian businesses and
promote the Ethiopian agricultural sector to European
business partners.
Traditionally, daily nutrition in Ethiopia is very spicy. Chilli
peppers (“Berbere”), ginger and turmeric play an important
role in Ethiopian dishes. But Ethiopia also produces coffee,
cardamom, sweet paprika and many other agri products.
The country’s potential is very big.
