Economic relations
[edit]Malaysia is one of the major trade partners of Ethiopia.[2] In 2005, Ethiopia's Ministry of Mines and Petronas, a Malaysian oil firm, signed a four-year exploration and production agreement enabling the latter to explore and produce petroleum in Ethiopia.[3] In 2009, a Malaysian company set up a mushroom farming establishment with an investment of Br285 million.[4] The area covers a 60 hectare mushroom farm near Lake Shala where the main production facility lies.[4] In 2013, a Malaysian edible oil producer built a large food oil refinery in Ethiopia.[5] Both countries are also working on air transport and Malaysia Airlines has established a codeshare agreement with Ethiopian Airlines.[6][7]
