With close proximity to Middle East, Europe, U.S. and Asia, Ethiopia is a strategic location for exporters. We chose to expand our presence to Ethiopia for its well-established infrastructure in terms of road and rail connectivity, especially with the Ethiopia/Djibouti corridor as the key conduit for trade.
