Logistics Overview
Ethiopia, Africa’s second-most-populous country, is landlocked and routes ~90% of its trade through Djibouti, linked by road and the electrified Addis Ababa–Djibouti railway. Addis Ababa is also one of Africa’s leading air cargo hubs.
Infrastructure Advantage
Ethiopian Airlines Cargo makes Addis (ADD) the continent’s standout air freight platform, critical for garment and perishable exports. Ocean cargo clears through Djibouti with a dry-port system (Modjo) inland. Foreign-exchange allocation and import permits are the main planning variables for importers.
