Ethiopia’s fruit production supports sustainable agriculture, boosts rural incomes, and strengthens the country’s position in the export of fresh, high-quality produce.

These crops are vital for both domestic oil production and export markets, contributing to the country’s agricultural economy. Sunflower and oil seeds are prized for their high-quality oil, playing a key role in Ethiopia’s push towards self-sufficiency in edible oils and enhancing foreign exchange through exports.
