It will contribute to import substitution and meeting export targets as well as creating large numbers of jobs and transferring technology.&#8221;[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;arrowLink&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1432124106666{margin-top: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<a href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201505081283.html\" target=\"_blank\">View Original Article<\/a><br \/>\nallafrica.com[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221; drop_shadow=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-xs&#8221; drop_shadow=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;newsItemMainColumn&#8221; drop_shadow=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;darker-text&#8221;]Ahadukes Food Products, biscuit and pasta factory, built with over 800 million Birr in Bishoftu town of Oromia state inaugurated yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1997,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"post_series":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
