Horizon Plantations PLC, one of the subsidiary companies under MIDROC Investment Group, undertook expansion works at an outlay of 1.1 billion Birr.

It was 5 years back that the enterprise was transferred to MIDROC after being privatized by the then Privations and Public Enterprises Agency.

As part of the expansion, MIDROC bought coffee beans milling and drying machines, replaced old coffee trees planted on 3,100 hectares of land and introduced drip-irrigation practice at Bebeka plantation.

In addition to this, the company planted coffee seedlings on 375 hectares of land and replaced old coffee trees on 62 hectares of land at Limu plantation.
