Exporting from Ethiopia
Engaging in an export business in Ethiopia is a potentially profitable venture; as exports from the country are growing and the government encourages the sector. Ethiopia's main export products are agricultural commodities. These commodities, live animals and other non-value added export products are allowed only for domestic investors. However, exporters must register with the Ministry of Trade and Industry to obtain an export license.
