The executive members of the FDRA, the US-based association representing 80% of the country’s footwear market, visited footwear factories and tanneries in Addis Ababa and surrounding areas last week.

Shoe distributors like Wolverine, LI & Fung, and RG Barry were part of the group visiting Ethiopia, who also met with the Federal Chamber of Commerce, the Industry Ministry, and the Intellectual Property Office to learn more about Ethiopia.
