Today, I visited large-scale industries that are driving the Made in Ethiopia movement. AMG Holdings Industry Park, which specializes in value-added coffee exports and steel production, and Andinet Glass Technology, known for its glass and aluminum works, are commendable examples of the private sector’s contribution to industrial expansion.
ETNO Mining, a subsidiary of Akobo Minerals, is a Scandinavian-based gold exploration and mining company operating in partnership with the Ethiopian Government through Ethiopian Investment Holdings.
We extend our congratulations on this significant investment in Akobo Woreda, Gambela Region. For the past three decades, the town of Dima in Akobo Woreda has primarily engaged in small-scale, traditional gold mining, often resulting in considerable wastage.
This new investment marks a transformative step towards ensuring efficient and high-quality gold extraction in a shorter timeframe while addressing the challenges posed by illegal mining. It also signifies a commitment to the sustainable development of Gambela’s abundant resources for the benefit of the region and its people.
Before officially inaugurating ‘Quality Village ‘today, I had the opportunity yesterday to visit and review the National Quality Infrastructure we have developed.
This critical institution is designed to catalyze the competitiveness of our local products in global markets and enhance our participation in global value chains.

In Ethiopia, papaya is one of the most significant fruit crops, valued for both local consumption, as well as its potential for fresh fruit export. By adopting enhanced farming practices, farmers can achieve higher yields and greater profitability. I encourage all those involved in papaya cultivation to redouble their efforts in cultivation of the crop.
Kudos to Somaliland for conducting peaceful and free and fair elections. This exercise in genuine democracy is a model not just for the region but the continent. No wonder some corrupt and autocratic neighbors seethe in anger at this accomplishment! https://t.co/8ACYgg00wW

As Addis Ababa continues to host a wide array of national and international activities, its immense potential as a premier destination is being steadily realised—not only in its journey toward becoming a liveable city for residents but also as a city that excels in hospitality.

I welcome all participants of the World Without Hunger Conference to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - Africa’s diplomatic hub and capital.
By uniting global leaders, experts, and advocates to discuss innovative solutions and partnerships, I am hopeful that our collective efforts to eradicate hunger and ensure food security for all will bear fruit.
In Ethiopia, our focus on agricultural transformation and productivity over the past six years has allowed us to double our cultivated land, with promising outcomes from our emphasis on high-value industrial crops.
I trust that over the coming days, the conference discussions will lead to landmark decisions that help accelerate progress toward our shared goals.
“In a crisis-prone world with a growing population, ensuring food security demands innovative solutions.
We must adopt sustainable practices, advance modern farming, expand access to essential agricultural inputs, and address climate change to enhance productivity.
However, ending world hunger is about more than just increasing food production; it requires us to tackle systemic issues such as poverty, inequality, and climate resilience in a holistic manner.”
