The performance was registered despite several challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, revocation of Ethiopia from AGOA, security, and forex, according to the ministry.
Last year, the manufacturing sector generated more than 390 million USD, becoming the second top contributor to Ethiopia’s export trade revenue next to agriculture and ahead of mining.
