Harness Ethiopia’s potential

BUYING WITHOUT INTERMEDIARIES

For most importing companies in Europe, Ethiopia is still uncharted territory on their business map. But this will change soon, because this country at the horn of Africa offers tremendous export potential. Particularly, in the field of medicinal and aromatic plants, existing products are available in Ethiopia that are not found anywhere else.

Ethiopia has a very large area of land that has not yet been cultivated agriculturally. The potential for developing modern agriculture is accordingly vast, and this also includes organic agriculture to meet the increasing demand for organic products in Europe.

The Ethiopian exporters selected by IPD are not only characterised by the high quality of their natural ingredients, they are also intensively prepared by IPD for certificates such as HACCP, ISO 22000 and others. As an importer you will benefit from getting connected directly with the Ethiopian companies. This means: no intermediaries and reduced procurement costs.

Your benefits

  • Vast potential for organic farming
  • Direct imports without intermediaries
  • Suppliers thoroughly qualified by IPD
