For the first time, Ethiopia has started transporting livestock by train to Djibouti.

Chief Executive Officer of the Ethio-Djibouti Railway Joint Stock Company, Engineer Takele Uma, announced the launch of the railway transport service for livestock from Adama to Djibouti.

Engineer Takele Uma recalled that previously, railway transport was only used for importing goods into the country. He stated that this new service will enhance Ethiopia’s export capacity.

He added that the Ethio-Djibouti railway through Adama will boost the export of quality meat products to international markets and help reduce traffic congestion.

In a post on his social media page, Engineer Takele Uma emphasized that the introduction of this service demonstrates Ethiopia’s commitment to conducting efficient and sustainable business in the sector.
