UAE's multimillion-dollar wheat farm project in Ethiopia
Elite Agro Projects (EAP), a UAE-headquartered specialist agricultural engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company, plans to establish a wheat farm in Ethiopia, its senior executive said.
Hassan Halawy, General Manager, EAP, told Zawya Projects that the company is studying establishing a wheat farm in Ethiopia due to the rising demand for the grain.
The proposed project would involve an agreement with the local government to export part of the harvest to the UAE and sell the rest locally in Ethiopia.
"We are still working on the estimations and value-engineering of the yet-undisclosed mega project," Halawy said in an exclusive interview, adding that EAP currently operates a flower farm in Ethiopia.
