Potential for improving cooperation with Ethiopia in field of agriculture

Belgrade/Addis Ababa, 31 July 2025

Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management Professor Dragan Glamočić, PhD, met in Addis Ababa with representatives of leading companies involved in the import of agricultural machinery and intermediate goods, as well as with exporters of organic coffee, spices, oilseeds and pulses.

Glamočić, who participated in the 2nd UN Food Systems Summit Stocktake (UNFSS+4) in Addis Ababa, also spoke with professors from the state university school of economics about current economic trends and development plans, with a special focus on the agricultural sector.

In this context, the Minister presented the potential of Serbian companies and pointed out the possibilities of cooperation in production, equipment and knowledge transfer.

The Ethiopian interlocutors emphasised that the demand for food in the country is growing and that there is a pronounced need for more accessible and efficient solutions in the field of fertilisers, seeds and agricultural machinery.

Glamočić stated that Serbia is ready to offer its capacities and expertise, with the support of the renewed diplomatic presence in Addis Ababa, which, as he emphasised, will play a key role in improving cooperation at all levels.

He invited Ethiopian businesspeople to visit Serbia and learn about the possibilities of cooperation, especially in the agro-industry, mechanical production and innovations in the field of food security.

The interlocutors highlighted mutual interest in strengthening economic ties, based on the political friendship that Serbia and Ethiopia have nurtured for decades.
