EXPORTS
Agricultural produce is the primary export of the country. Non-GMO produce is the most common type grown by farmers, which has a desirable demand internationally. Beker exports organic oilseeds (sesame, soybeans) to international markets in Turkey, UAE, India and China. Unlike the oilseeds which are mainly exported to the east, our Ethiopian coffee exports target western markets such as Germany, the UK and USA. Our catalog includes the following
Specialty coffee is a niche market currently valued at 40 Billion USD worldwide. In comparison to the general commodity market, specialty coffee fetches premium prices for exporters handling lower volumes of higher quality beans.
Ethiopia is one of the world’s leading sesame producers, and sesame is among the country’s most valuable agricultural exports, with Humera sesame in particular prized by international buyers for its quality. Beker entered this market in October 2017, and by January 2018 had already exported 35,000 metric tons (roughly 2,000 containers). To keep quality under our control from the source, we have acquired storage and sesame cleaning facilities in Humera, in northern Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is one of Africa’s leading bean producers, and varieties like haricot and red kidney beans are key agricultural exports. Prized by buyers abroad for their quality and nutritional value, beans are an important crop for farmers and the wider economy alike.
