Addis Ababa- Oromia, Hawassa- Arba Minch, Awash- Dire Dawa and Harrar, Bahir Dar- Nile Gorge and South Gondar, as well as Mekele- Raya and Alamata are the corridors.
Some 50,000 hectares land has allocated in these areas for flowers, vegetables and fruits as well as coffee production, the Director-General, Dr. Fantahun Mengistu told ENA.
The horticulture development corridors need to be identified so as to further boost horticulture development thereby improve its contribution to the nation's development, he said.
