Message From Our CEO
“I am extremely honored to be part of sharing this message on behalf of Sidama Industrial Parks Development Corporation. As already known the sector of agriculture plays important role in strengthening national economy. Especially, in the developing countries it increases employment, income, foreign currency and strong backward linkages to the farmers through value chain and also attracting investment oriented both on export and import substitution.

Sidaama Region offers remarkable opportunities in coffee, fruits and vegetables, avocado, pineapple, banana, livestock, dairy, poultry, honey, spices and other agricultural commodities. Our role as Sidama IPDC is to help transforming these resources into competitive and high-value products for domestic and international markets.

As the developer and administering organization of the Yirgalem Integrated Agro-Industrial Park, Rural Transformation Centers (RTCs) and Cluster Centers, we are creating a strong industrial ecosystem that connects our abundant agricultural resources with modern infrastructure, technology, markets and investment.

I invite investors and strategic partners to explore the opportunities available in Yirgalem Integrated Agro-Industrial Park and Rural Transformation Centers. The opportunity is here.
Let us work together to add value to our resources and build a more prosperous agro-industrial future.
It is my great pleasure to welcome both domestic and foreign investors to invest in Yirgalem Integrated Agro-Industrial Park where opportunity meets natural abundance.
Thank You!”
