NEWS:
African countries trade with each other at no more than 15 percent of their total trade.
Another is marketing to America, Europe, Asia.
It has been years since the implementation of the African Free Trade Agreement, which is supposed to increase the weak mutual trade, and allow products to be sold freely in African countries.
Ethiopia has agreed to allow more than 5,800 products from other countries to be imported and sold without duty.
The agreement also allows her to sell her products duty-free in other African countries.
After all, can Ethiopia benefit from the African Free Trade Zone in its current state?
We asked economists on the matter.
The experts said that it will be difficult to benefit from the African Free Trade Zone when it is not possible to trade and sell products from Tigray Amhara, Amhara, Oromia, Afar Somali to other countries.
If Ethiopia can't get out of its current cycle of conflict, if products can't move and if strong institutions can't be built, they told us that it could become a bystander in Africa's free trade zone.
