Ethiopia’s horticulture sector continues to shine on the global stage, generating an impressive $564.89 million USD in export revenue over the past fiscal year!

This impressive achievement highlights the increasing global demand for Ethiopian-grown flowers, cuttings, fruits, vegetables, and herbs, celebrated for their high quality and sustainable cultivation practices.

The sector’s consistent growth is driven by the unwavering commitment of producers, rising production volumes, and the strong synergy between farms and the Ethiopian Horticulture Producer Exporters Association (EHPEA).

EHPEA’s proactive role in addressing sector-wide challenges through close collaboration with the government, private sector, and international stakeholders, has been instrumental in advancing the industry and unlocking new market opportunities.

Key drivers of this success include:

• Adoption of modern farming technologies and climate-smart practices

• Enhanced compliance with international standards and certifications

• Improved market access

As Ethiopia continues to strengthen its position as a major horticulture exporter, this milestone serves as a strong indicator of the sector’s potential to contribute to job creation, rural development, and economic growth.

Congratulations to all the hardworking farmers, exporters, and stakeholders driving this success!
