Ethiopia: Bole Lemi Industrial Park Saves Birr 2 Billion by Producing Import Substituting Products
Bole Lemi Industrial Park saved Birr 2 billion by producing goods which substituted import products. Among the park’s manufacturing companies, Soufflet Malt and BGI, a Chinese company, take the lion’s share in the production of import substituting products. Soufflet’s malt production has fully substituted import malt while BGI’s Covid-19 testing kits have saved the country from spending foreign currency on foreign made testing products.
