Ethiopian Airlines has offered a discount to Ethiopian horticulture exporters using its cargo service.
The offer came in response to the loss the export companies incurred due to the decrease in value of the Euro against the dollar and consequently birr.
As of December 1, 2015, cargo prices will be reduced from the former rates by three to six per cent, a reduction by six to 10 US cents depending on the total volume sent.
Ethiopian sends two flower laden cargo flights to Europe daily. Each plane carries 85tons. The 120 Ethiopian flower exporters now collectively pay 218,336 birr less each day, and 6.55 million birr less every month.
