Ethiopia Sip One Billion Dollar from Coffee Export

Oumer Hussein, Ethiopia’s Minister of Agriculture, said in a congratulatory tweet that Ethiopian coffee exports had reached a new high of $1 billion in income.

The export of around 300,000 tonnes of coffee to the global market contributed to the record-breaking revenue.

Once again, China is Ethiopia’s top customer. In 2021, China’s imports of Ethiopian coffee increased by 196 percent over the previous fiscal year.
