Abstract
The rapid pace of technological change and increased capital mobility has stimulated a
process of globalization which has encouraged finns to locate the production process
across countries to take advantage of differences in comparative advantage. Today the
world is becoming a small village. To be participant in this is process is not a matter of
choice but indeed a must. Since the last two decades Ethiopia has been taking series of
macro and micro -economic measures and shows its commitment to integrate itself to the
global economy. Though there are improvements in both the type and quantity of export
commodities, the country has been experiencing an increase in the negative balance of
trade.
It is believed that effective national export support/promotion programs, if complemented
with enabling national environment and international market access, are instrumental to
sustainable growth and development. Additionally, in countries like Ethiopia,
establishment and effective execution of a public export promotion/support service, that
is integrated, networked, and has the public's trust and confidence is very desirable. In
the course of this research project factors hindering this process are identified and
possible solutions forwarded.
