Manufacturing in Oromia is rapidly emerging as a key driver of economic transformation in Ethiopia. The region offers abundant natural resources, a large and youthful labor force, and strategic proximity to Addis Ababa and major trade routes. With established industrial parks in cities like Adama and Jimma, Oromia is attracting both domestic and foreign investors in textile and garment production, agro-processing, construction materials, and pharmaceuticals. The government’s investor-friendly policies, combined with access to reliable energy and infrastructure, make Oromia a prime destination for manufacturing ventures.
The Oromia Investment and Industry Bureau actively supports manufacturing through streamlined licensing, land access, and incentives like tax holidays and duty-free import privileges. Special emphasis is placed on industries that use local raw materials such as cotton, leather, coffee, and grains—strengthening value chains and reducing import dependency. As manufacturing expands, it plays a vital role in job creation, export diversification, and sustainable economic growth across the region.
The main objectives of industrial development include promoting the use of local raw materials and labor, fostering competitive domestic industries and private sector growth, creating employment opportunities, and increasing industrial production and productivity.
