With 115 million inhabitants (2020), which according to the World Bank will rise to 200 million by 2050, Ethiopia has long been the largest food market in East & Central Africa. Expenditure in the F&B sector is growing steadily and F&B production is by far the largest segment of the Ethiopian processing industry.
Accordingly, the demand for food and beverage ingredients is rising continuously. So it was only natural that more and more leading international ingredient companies took part in agrofood Ethiopia.
With food ingredients Ethiopia, fairtrade is responding to the request of exhibitors for their own partial tradeshow under the umbrella of agrofood Ethiopia.
Just like Iran food ingredients which fairtrade established a few years ago in Tehran under the umbrella of Iran agrofood.
