The Ethiopian Horticulture Producer Exporters Association (EHPEA) is proud to announce a significant step forward in protecting Ethiopia’s rose industry. Through a collaborative effort with member farms, EHPEA has bolstered the inspection capabilities of the Ethiopian Agricultural Authority (EAA) at Bole International Airport’s cargo terminal.

This initiative involved procuring essential equipment like desktop computers, printers, cameras, protective gear, and mobile inspection tables. The official handover ceremony, held at the EHPEA office, was attended by H.E. Mr. Wondale Habtamu, EAA Deputy Director General, and representatives from member farms.

By equipping EAA inspectors with these vital tools, EHPEA aims to further professionalize the inspection process at Bole Airport. This will ensure that exported roses meet the highest international phytosanitary standards, safeguarding the Ethiopian rose industry’s continued success and export business.
