Summary

The Middle East is an interesting market for Ethiopian fruit and vegetables with some possibilities to enter. Sea transportation is becoming more and more attractive due to the decreasing capacity in air transpiration and much lower environmental impact (andpossibly costs). Extract from the table of contents: Middle East market (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, market prospects and challenges); transportation to the Middle East; Ethiopian fruit and vegetable export (production and export potential; selection of fruit and vegetables; potential product market combinations); reefer chain (postharvest handling; phytosanitary inspection and customs control; logistics; practical feasibility); chain activity based costing; recommendations.
