Ethiopia
Ethiopia, located in East Africa, is an emerging logistics hub with its strategic position connecting the Horn of Africa to global trade. While landlocked, Ethiopia relies on the Port of Djibouti for international shipping, supported by a modern railway linking Addis Ababa to Djibouti. Ethiopia’s growing economy, driven by manufacturing, agriculture, and textiles, demands robust logistics infrastructure. The country is investing in industrial parks and air freight, with Ethiopian Airlines playing a pivotal role in cargo transport. Ethiopia’s regional connectivity and infrastructure development strengthen its position as a key trade and logistics center in Africa.
