Agro-Processing & Food Production Sector – Project Overview
Agriculture remains the backbone of Ethiopia’s economy, and agro-processing plays a critical role in transforming raw products into high-value goods. Firanbon Consultancy PLC (FEC PLC) has supported a wide range of agro-processing, dairy, food production, and beverage companies through comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), Environmental & Social Management Plans (ESMP), and feasibility studies.
Below is a full list of your agro-processing and food production projects, each summarized with a professional description.
