The COMESA EAC Horticulture Accelerator Ethiopia National Chapter has officially been launched today, Tuesday, August 13, 2024! This significant step marks the beginning of a journey to unlock the immense potential within Ethiopia’s horticulture sub-sector, with a special emphasis on Potatoes, Onions, and Avocados.

Industry stakeholders from Ethiopia’s Horticulture sector gathered in Addis Ababa to witness this landmark event, joined by leaders from the Ministry of Agriculture and the Alliance for Commodity Trade in Eastern and Southern Africa (ACTESA-COMESA).

We were also honored to have the support and presence of development partners from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), and the Ethiopian Horticulture Producer Exporters Association (EHPEA), all of whom have pledged their commitment to ensuring the success of this transformative program.

Together, we’re paving the way for a brighter, more prosperous future in Ethiopian horticulture!
