  • "We have to work with foreign companies as they have the kinds of technology and skills that we don't have here in Ethiopia," he said. "As our economy has become more and more open over the last few years, many different companies from around the world have invested here. We need this to continue and for us to work together." "The Ethiopian government has taken on very significant costs for our project through the development of the infrastructure,"[Abasov] said. "It has taken a lot of weight off our shoulders. The combination of geology, climate, location and government support in Ethiopia is very unique." "Ethiopia is trying to develop its agriculture, so there is huge potential for potash here," he said. "We are working with the government to help show people the benefits of potash, especially as a fertiliser."
