Ethiopian Trading and Business Corporation (ETBC), Soy Afric, and Kazana Group have joined forces to boost Ethiopia’s food production, processing, and export. The three companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen the country’s food supply chain—from farm to market—while supporting smallholder farmers and the economy.
Each partner brings unique strengths to the collaboration. ETBC will mobilize farmers, providing quality inputs and regulatory support. Soy Afric will contribute its soybean processing expertise, offering training, buy-back agreements, and post-harvest solutions. Kazana Group will secure investment, forge partnerships, and expand market access for Ethiopian soy products.
The initiative focuses on empowering smallholder farmers. By moving from subsistence farming to contract farming, they will gain stable income, better prices, and access to financial and technical support. The program also aims to improve food security, create jobs, and drive rural development.
The partners will start with pilot projects, refining the model before scaling up. Future agreements will outline financing and responsibilities in more detail.
This partnership comes at a crucial time for Ethiopia as it works to diversify agricultural exports and boost agro-industrial growth. The MoU reflects a shared commitment to unlocking Ethiopia’s farming potential through practical, scalable solutions.
Together, ETBC, Soy Afric, and Kazana Group aim to build a stronger, more sustainable food processing sector in Ethiopia.
