Dinsho is proud to be heavily involved in Ethiopia's economic recovery. The Dinsho group of companies are focused on strategic development that will bring Ethiopia a higher economic growth rate, more jobs, more exports and more self-sufficiency. Or sales turnover which has been doubling almost every year is a clear sigh of our successful market strategy.

Company Strategy

Dinsho Trading

- Export promotion currently exporting sesame and pea beans to Europe, looking to expand into new markets.

- Plans to export coffee under way. Looking for new markets.

- Building local industries, implementation on many projects is underway.

- wholesale strategy, pricing is fair thus benefiting consumers.

- Imports quality goods and sells these goods at fair prices. Links with local farmers cooperatives being made.

Dinsho Partnership Projects

Dinsho is in partnership with several foreign companies with the interest of increasing Ethiopia's agricultural exports. We are implementing projects in the following agricultural related areas:

- Rose farm production for exports to Europe

- Vegetable farm production for exports to Europe and for sale in the Middle East

- Fruit farm for local and export markets

- Tissue culture laboratory, to increase the quality of the local food plants in order to better meet the export market requirements

- Vegetable, fruit and flower packing and grading export terminal, to be built and managed by Dinsho and foreign partner. This project will increase Ethiopia's exports and bring in foreign currency. It will also serve other exporters who currently lack grading and packing facilities.
Dinsho Agro Industries is also working on the following projects:

- Cattle fattening project which supplies quality meat to the local market. Currently looking for export markets in the Middle East

- Select seeds farms for the production of wheat, corn and teff seeds. These select seeds have much higher yields than local varieties. The higher yields will give Ethiopia more food surplus.

- Modern dairy farm with milk processing industry. Our aim is to produce cheese, yogurt and other dairy products for the local markets.

- Medicinal Herbs farming for the export markets. These medicinal herbs are in high demand in Europe and fetch very attractive prices. Local farmers are to be taught in medicinal herb growing techniques. The herbs are to be purchased by Dinsho and exported. Local farmers will earn more money per hectares as opposed to traditional food crops

Dinsho Transport

- The company has several new trucks which meet the needs of the Ethiopian transport sector. the fleet is active in the distribution of fertilizer. We also move farm produce to the urban markets. Urban goods and imports are also distributed to remote areas of the country.

- The transport department is also using its vehicles to help in infrastructure development projects such as the Oromia rural roads development project.

- The fleet is soon to be expanded to include vehicles such as bulldozers, graders and fuel tankers.
