Ethiopia reports $128.3 million in livestock export earnings
Livestock export revenue in Ethiopian fiscal year 2018 rose more than 35% from about $95 million, while export abattoirs were using around 10% of capacity.
The Ethiopian News Agency reported on 6 September that the Livestock Development Institute put livestock export earnings at $128.3 million for Ethiopian fiscal year 2018. That was more than 35% above the roughly $95 million cited for previous years.
Institute Director General Asrat Tera said 12 export abattoirs were operating at about 10% of their combined 200,000-metric-ton capacity. The government’s target for fiscal year 2019 is to raise utilization to 50% and export about 46,000 metric tons of meat and meat products. Those are targets announced at the forum, not completed results.
