We’re excited to share the news of a major expansion at one of our esteemed EHPEA member farms, Tinaw Business Share Company! Established in 2006, Tinaw has become a prominent grower and exporter of high-quality fresh cut roses in Ethiopia.

Located just 175 km southwest of Addis Ababa, at a cool 1950 meters above sea level, Tinaw’s existing farm boasts over 18 varieties of stunning roses, with stem lengths ranging from 40 to 70 cm. Their beautiful blooms grace markets across Europe, the Far East, the Middle East, and the Gulf Countries.

The EHPEA management team recently visited Tinaw to offer their support and celebrate a significant milestone: a 33-hectare expansion project! Construction is well underway, with packhouses, fertigation systems, propagation areas, greenhouse sheds, essential facilities like change rooms, a reservoir, and access roads all being built at an impressive pace.

This exciting expansion will not only allow Tinaw to serve new destinations with their wide assortment of roses, but it’s also expected to create an additional 800 jobs! Muluqen Lemma, General Manager of Tinaw Share Co., is spearheading this ambitious project. He personally guided the EHPEA team on a tour of the expansion and discussed ways to further strengthen EHPEA’s support for Tinaw’s continued success.

We at EHPEA are incredibly proud of Tinaw’s achievements and thrilled to support their growth. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting expansion!
