The setting up of industrial zones in different parts of the country shows that the Ethiopian Government is determined to bring about structural change in the country’s industrial manufacturing. Hence, American companies are keen on investing in Ethiopian textile and garment sector, he added.

The President noted that Ethiopia is suitable for textile and garment manufacturing as cotton is cultivated in the country on more than three million hectares of land. In addition, the investors would also be able to easily access the US market under the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA) provisions.
