Coffee Trade Features at Addis Ababa Investment Summit

Exporters and banks meet in Addis Ababa

Coffee export development featured at the fourth Africa Trade and Investment Summit in Addis Ababa on September 22, 2026. Organiser Investment Center of Africa reported participation from coffee businesses, banks, investors and international trade representatives.

Finance and market access

A business and finance session included Sidama Bank CEO Tadesse Hatiya and Ethiopian Coffee Export Association General Manager Gizat Worku. The discussion covered banking, export development, market access and partnerships across the agricultural value chain. The organiser also reported broader investment commitments and agreements at the summit, without specifying coffee contract volumes or values.

What to watch next

Our view: the useful follow-up for coffee businesses will be concrete details on financing products and buyer partnerships. Exporters assessing opportunities can prepare lot specifications, shipment schedules and working-capital requirements for discussions with potential partners.
