Flying Swans’ #Ethiopia project secures €11.7m backing

New fresh produce distribution center near Addis Abeba could make it easier for suppliers of #avocados and other fresh produce to reach international export markets

Avocados from Ethiopia are among a number of products that stand to benefit from Cool Port Addis, a new cold-chain facility for perishable products close to Addis Abeba.

That’s according to Flying Swans, a #Dutch company that specializes in the development of refrigerated supply chains in developing countries of #East_Africa.

This week, Ethiopia secured a €11.7m grant from the #Netherlands to begin the project’s first phase of development at #Modjo Dry Port, the country’s primary inland terminal, 50km south-east of the capital.

Once the facility is ready, suppliers stand to benefit from Modjo’s direct rail connection to the Port of #Djibouti, from where the fruit will shipped to export markets.

The Modjo center is one of three consolidation centers that the company plans to build. The other two logistics projects are in #Kenya and #Tanzania. https://www.fruitnet.com/eurofruit/flying-swans-ethiopia-project-secures-117m-backing/259003.article
News: #Ethiopia’s Modjo–Hawassa expressway, part of #Cairo#Cape_Town corridor, nears Completion: World Bank says

Ethiopia is nearing the completion of the #Modjo#Hawassa Expressway, a 202-kilometer high-standard toll road that forms part of the Cairo–Cape Town Trans-African Highway. The project is expected to significantly cut travel times, reduce vehicle operating costs, and strengthen regional connectivity, according to the World Bank.

Once fully operational, the expressway will reduce travel time by up to 40% and lower vehicle operating costs by 15–20%, improving access to markets, services, and industrial zones for more than 1.5 million people living along the route.

The Modjo–Hawassa Expressway is Ethiopia’s second major toll road and the first to meet international expressway standards. Stretching south of Addis Abeba, it links key urban and industrial centers — Modjo, Batu, Shashamene, and Hawassa — forming a vital corridor for domestic and cross-border trade.
