Ethiopia’s coffee exports have declined in the last ten months, the Ethiopian Trade Ministry said on Friday. In a report, the ministry said that Addis Ababa had exported 136,000 tons of coffee worth $489.28 in the last ten months, compared to $576.819 in the same period last year. According to the trade ministry, coffee exports declined by 8.79 percent and revenues by 15.8 percent in the last ten months compared to the same period of 2013. The ministry cited power disruption, delay in business deals and market price fluctuation for the decrease in coffee exports. Ethiopia is a major exporter of coffee in Africa. Ethiopian coffee exports account for around 3 percent of the global coffee market. The biggest market for Ethiopian coffee is Germany, which imported $95.75 worth coffee during the last ten months, according to the ministry report. Saudi Arabia was the second largest market for Ethiopian coffee followed by the United States, Belgium,

Arguably, its popularity has never been so high as it has been for the past couple of months. It is for the most unlikely reason too. Apparently, it is about a proposed urban masterplan for the capital and the surrounding Oromia Special Zone incorporating five townships found encircling Addis Ababa: Sululta, Burayu-Menagesha, Sebeta, Gelan-Dukem, Legetafo/Legedadi. The turmoil, which was not that alarming at the beginning, did not take long to take a turn for the worst. According to official figures, 11 individuals lost their lives in an upheaval that erupted after the announcement of an integrated masterplan for Addis Ababa and the surrounding Oromia towns. At the core of this upheaval is a claim that the proposed joint masterplan embodies the desire by the capital city to expand horizontally thre

The government is trying to convince businesses that are engaged in the service industry to build factories and join the manufacturing sector. One such company that manages to expand its business from Coffee trading to establishing manufacturing plants is Aleta Land group. On May 24, 2014, the company that was established 10 years ago with a paid up capital of one million Birr, has inaugurated three manufacturing plants of PP bag, PVC/ HDPE pipe injection and plastic products in Hawassa town, Southern Regional State, with a cost of 68 million Birr. addisfortune

A country’s ability to take care of its needy people speaks volumes about its well being than mere numbers  Mahlet Fasil & Kalkidan Yibeltal   A pensioner for 23 years, Getahun Assefa, 83, of the former Imperial Guard, recalls nostalgically the days when it was possible to get by with his meager retirement benefit of less than US$20 (342 birr), small as it was. But the soaring cost of living in the past couple of years has made it almost impossible to make his ends met. Trying to lead a family of four (his wife and three children) with his retirement money means Getahun’s life is marked by a struggle for survival on a daily base. If he is to lead a somewhat dignified life, the government needs to “increase my pay”, he told  Addis Standard . Getahun is not alone in this; his ache reverberates in endless households throughout the country. The inadequate sums the state pays in varied forms of benefits are the sources of misery for thousands of senior citizens who had contr
