Female sewing machine operators work on their machines in one of Ethiopia’s garment factories. The country’s industrial parks are one of the government's strategies to facilitate the export of manufactured goods. There are three such parks specialized in garment and textile production, which employ around 70,000 workers. Despite COVID-19 and other challenges, the three leading industrial parks registered growth in annual exports amounting to US$ 102 million. Industrial parks account for only 5 percent of the country's total exports, but represent 43 percent of manufactured exports.
