Meat export Ethiopia news a Amharic news

The National Bank of Ethiopia has told banks that meat producers can only export if they get full payment from buyers abroad. Ethiopia exports a large amount of meat and earned USD 109 million in the last fiscal year. The Association of Meat Producers and Exporters were happy with the decision to cease exports of meat to other countries on consignment, which took a long time to pay. An industry insider is worried that it could hurt Ethiopia’s competitive position if other emerging exporters keep working under consignment. The new rule will stop problems like waiting for a long time to get paid by consignees.
