(Xinhua/Michael Tewelde)ADDIS ABABA, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- The growing demand for Ethiopia's major export commodities in China has presented a huge potential for Ethiopian producers and exports, Ethiopian official said on Tuesday. Assefa Mulugeta, Director General of Export promotion Department at the Ethiopian Ministry of Trade and Industry, told Xinhua on Tuesday that the Chinese market, which is one of the top importers of Ethiopian products, is still untapped with huge market potentials for Ethiopia's export commodities. "There is a huge potential to expand our market to China," Mulugeta told Xinhua. "We need to identify which area has a gap in terms of penetrating the potential market areas in China," he added. Mulugeta, who noted Ethiopia's positive experiences in the Chinese market for products such as sesame seed, also stressed the need to study other potential areas so as to benefit from the vast Chinese consumers base.
