Jimma Industrial Park, built by the Chinese construction giant China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), is expected to host investors in light manufacturing sectors, mainly agro-processing, textile and apparel products. Stretched on 75 hectares of land, with an ambition to attract foreign investors in Ethiopia's agro-processing sector, the industry park hosts nine manufacturing sheds. Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, inaugurating the park, said that the Jimma industry park will help the western Ethiopia zone to become one of Ethiopia's industry zones. "We did our best, and we are glad that a high quality industry park was completed in such a short time," he said.
