The new sugar development projects launched in Ethiopia have created more than 28 thousand job opportunities in the last financial year according to the quarterly newsletter issued by the Ethiopian Sugar Corporation.
The projects launched in various parts of the country have created jobs for surrounding communities in Tendaho, Kuraz, Wolkite and Beles areas noted the newsletter.
The communities that adjoin the sugar development projects have also benefited from the infrastructural work that is part of the projects and includes the construction of roads and schools as well access to running water said the Corporation.
The infrastructural development for the communities has inculcated a sense of ownership towards the sugar projects and has thus enabled residents to better contribute to realizing the success of the projects said the newsletter.In related news the Sugar Corporation announced that it has made available more than 4.3 million quintals of sugar to the national market in the last fiscal year according to reports. The Corporation has also supplied in excess of 11 million liters of ethanol, 13,434 carton of candy, 306,471 quintals of molasses and 2,700 quintals of bagasse in the financial year.
