The company's General Manager Jan Prins says Ethiopia has huge possibilities for trade. But he says there are too many difficulties when attempting to trade with neighboring countries.
Problems getting visas, corruption and high transportation costs are some of the barriers companies face when they attempt to trade within the continent. A truck in Africa will travel, on average, just nine kilometers an hour because of the many security or inspection stations. As a result, 40% of the cost of a product is for transportation.
Intra-Africa trade, both imports and exports, totaled $131 billion in 2011. African Union countries have agreed to make the continent a free trade zone by 2017. Treasure Maphanga is the Director of the AU's Trade and Industry Department. She says governments must make that goal of a continental free trade area a reality.
The African Union will hold another conference on increasing intra-Africa trade at the end of October.极图园艺公司是埃塞俄比亚最大的园艺产品出口商。该公司的总经理杨·普林斯表示埃塞俄比亚蕴含着巨大的贸易机遇，但是想要与周边国家开展贸易困难重重。
各公司试图与非洲开展贸易时所面临的壁垒包括：签证难，腐败和昂贵的运输费用。在非洲，由于众多的安全检查站，卡车平均时速仅为9公里。因此，产品40%的成本都是运输成本。
在2011年，非洲内部包括进口和出口的贸易总额达到了1310亿美元。非洲联盟国家已经同意，在2017年以前使非洲成为自由贸易区。特雷杰·莫芳格是非洲联盟贸易和工业部的部长。她表示各国政府必须努力使大陆自由贸易区的目标成为现实。
10底，非洲联盟将就促进非洲内部贸易再次举行会议。
