Ethiopian, Algerian coffee companies discuss ways to strengthen relations

Addis Ababa, March 22, 2021 (FBC) -The Ethiopian embassy in Algeria held today a business to business (B2B) virtual session for Ethiopian coffee exporting companies and Algerian coffee importers.

In his opening remarks, Nebiat Getachew, Ambassador of Ethiopia to Algeria, noted that the embassy is closely following up to strengthen trade and investment relations between Ethiopia and Algeria.

He mentioned that the B2B session is meant to address specific commercial modalities between exporters and importers.

The B2B event is a continuation of the embassy’s effort to introduce Ethiopian coffee to the Algerian market.

On January 18, 2021 the embassy held the first virtual business promotion session to sensitize both Ethiopian exporters and Algerian importers.

Following that session, there has been a specific interest among Algerian coffee companies for more detailed B2B engagement with Ethiopian exporters.

Consequently, in today’s B2B Ethiopian exporters were able to present such details as quality, shipment and payment modalities to their Algerian counterparts.

Sagrifood, Fennec Coffee, Chocaf International Afli café and other Algerian companies took part in the B2B session, according to the embassy.
