The Ethiopian Horticulture and Agriculture Investment Authority, however, disclosed that the amount earned during the just concluded 2016-2017 Ethiopian fiscal year was slightly less than last fiscal year's earnings by 1.5 percent. Export of flower holds the lion-share of the total 271 million U.S. dollars generated from the sector, with 218 million U.S. dollars. Other horticulture products, vegetable and fruits, accounted for the 53 million U.S. dollars generated. The Ethiopian Horticulture Producers and Exporters Association has recently disclosed the need to promote the country's horticulture products in more international markets such as China.
