In a statement, Minister of State for Trade and Regional Integration, Yasmin Wahbrebi highlighted that Ethiopia's agricultural exports, including pulses and oilseeds, are showing positive growth despite challenges in fully capturing the foreign currency potential that the country’s production capacity offers. The earnings were split between USD 66 million from oilseeds and USD 90 million from pulses. Last year, Ethiopia exported 6.3 million quintals of pulses and oilseeds, generating a total of USD 675 million. In similar news, Ethiopia is set to host the 13th International Grains and Oilseeds Conference from November 20 to 21, 2024, in Addis Ababa. The conference is seen as a crucial platform for promoting Ethiopia’s agricultural products to the global market and attracting potential investors.
