The 2025 edition of the “Buy Ethiopian” National Trade Week Expo has officially opened at the Quality Village in Addis Ababa, showcasing locally made products and services as part of a broader effort to boost domestic industries and strengthen Ethiopia’s position in global trade.
The six-day event, organized by the Ministry of Trade and Regional Integration (MoTRI), features both an exhibition and a bazaar highlighting agricultural produce, manufactured goods, handicrafts, and emerging brands from across the country. The program also includes recognition for outstanding business performers of the 2017 Ethiopian fiscal year.
FDRE President Taye Atske-Selassie inaugurated the expo and toured the exhibition halls, where regional states and city administrations are presenting diverse Ethiopian products.
On the occasion, Minister of Trade and Regional Integration Kassahun Gofe (PhD) emphasized that Ethiopia’s growth and prosperity rest on the strength of its institutions, noting that institutional reforms are underway to make the business landscape more accessible, predictable, competitive, and fair. He said these reforms are enabling the country to fully harness its economic potential and secure its rightful place in the global market. (FMC)
