During the meeting, farm representatives openly discussed current challenges and explored ways to work more seamlessly together.

Mr. Tewodros Zewdie, the Executive Director of EHPEA, highlighted the importance of this collaboration. He emphasized that Ethiopian Cargo and producers must work “hand in hand” to increase the volume of products being sent to markets destination like China and the USA. He also encouraged the airline to diversify its services for fruits and vegetables and to offer competitive, affordable pricing.
