Why Ethiopia needs conveyor belts
Ethiopia is Africa's second most populous country, with a large farming economy and state-built industrial parks for textiles and agro-processing. It is landlocked and imports mainly through Djibouti by rail and road.
Belts, idlers, buckets and drag chains wear out in abrasive service, and a stopped conveyor stops the plant, so critical spares are kept on site.
