Agricultural Landscape
Ethiopia is Africa's second most populous nation and one of its top agricultural producers. The country accounts for over 70% of Africa's coffee exports and is a major producer of teff, sesame, and pulses — all requiring structured trade finance to reach global markets.
Trade Corridors
The Djibouti–Addis Ababa corridor handles 95% of Ethiopian trade. Capital Worth structures finance around this corridor, including Djibouti port logistics, Ethio-Djibouti Railway cargo, and cross-border trade into Somalia and South Sudan.
ECX & Commodity Markets
The Ethiopia Commodity Exchange (ECX) provides a regulated platform for coffee, sesame, and maize trading. Capital Worth leverages ECX warehouse receipts as collateral for short-term trade finance facilities.
Investment Climate
Ethiopia's Industrial Parks and the Homegrown Economic Reform Agenda have attracted significant FDI into agro-processing. Capital Worth supports investors entering Ethiopia's agribusiness sector through acquisition financing and working capital.
