Weak negotiating capacity of exporters and poor product quality are identified by the Ministry for the low performance of the industry. The international market has continued to witness a sustained downward trend in the price of coffee, Ethiopia’s flagship export item, for nearly three years now.  Figures from the International Coffee Organisation’s (ICO) composite price indicator show that there was a recorded 33pc drop in August 2013. Thus, a kilogramme of coffee was traded at 2.6 dollars, as opposed to the 3.6 dollars a year ago. A major reason why developing countries are unable to benefit from trade is their lack of capacity to produce and market, says an assessment conducted by the ICO in 2013. This slump in prices has deeply affected coffee producers, as well as exporters in Ethiopia. For Mormora Coffee Growers & Exporters Association, one of the major exporters, the situation has been worrisome throughout the last six months of the 2013/14 fiscal year, with the p

There is little dispute over the major economic achievements of the ruling Developmental Democrats, whose latest dissociation from the prefix ‘revolutionary’ has created a wildfire of speculation and analyses within the politically active population of the nation. Their commitment in transforming the nation’s economy from its war-torn state to stability is well recorded within all the available public records. International institutions continue to provide them with recognition, having reduced the volatility of the economy by virtue of strengthening its fundamentals. Macroeconomic analyses released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) since 2003/04, for instance, acclaim the state under the Developmentalists for the sound public finance management. A sound and resilient public finance management has played its part in the fast economic growth the country has witnessed under the Developmental Democrats. Of course, this does not mean that international institutions, be it th

comparative six-month performance of export items,2012/13 and 2013/14 fiscal years, in revenue Ever since the incumbent government, under the late Meles Zenawi, disclosed its five-year Growth & Transformation Plan (GTP) – proclaimed as rather ambitious by many members of the diplomatic community and representatives of international organisations based in Addis Abeba – it has been entertaining shortfalls in its lofty targets. No sector has been as disappointing for the administration – now presided over by Hailemariam Desalegn, who came to power following Meles’s unfortunate passing – however, than the export sector. Throughout the three years, there has been a sizeable gap between the level of achievement and the four billion dollar annual earnings target. As if to further this long standing disappointment, the recently released six month export performance for 2013/14 fiscal year by the Ministry of Trade led by Kebede Chane (pictured) has shown that the downsides have contin
