In recent decades, rapid growth in the international trade of high-value commodities has resulted in significant agricultural growth in many countries. Trade in high-value products, such as fruits and vegetables, dairy products, poultry, and fish, are increasingly displacing exports of traditional commodities, such as cereals, sugar, coffee, tea, and tobacco.

8 Thus, during the 1980s, the aggregate value of world trade in cereals, sugar and tropical beverages declined, while high-value exports grew by 8 percent annually (Watts and Goodman, 1997). Fruits and vegetables are the largest component of high-value exports, with world-wide exports of US$ 21 billion in 2001. Fruit and vegetable exports have grown percent annually over the 1990s, and developing countries accounted for almost two-thirds of this growth (FAO, 2003). Imports of fruits and vegetable products by the European Union surpass imports of all other categories of agricultural products (Watts, 1994). A number of developing countries have become successful exporters of high-value and high- quality food commodities and achieved double-digit growth for a decade or more.

9 In 1990, 24 low and middle-income countries, mainly in Latin America and Asia, exported more than US$500 million in high-value agriculture. Of these, four countries accounted for some 40. percent of the total value of high-value trade (Watts, 1994). Eight of the ten countries worldwide with the highest growth rates of agricultural exports over the period 1980 to 1998. had fruits and vegetables as their largest export earner. In the case of Ethiopia, given the declining export earnings from traditional exports of coffee in particular, flori-horticulture and other non-traditional, high-value, agricultural export expansion represent an important area of potential income growth.

10 The agriculture- development-led-industrialization strategy of the country envisages significant scope for achieving greater commercialization of smallholder agriculture. Ethiopia is considered to have the potential to achieve trade gains in these sub-sectors because of agro-climatic advantages and, in the case of livestock, a large indigenous stock. This study takes a more holistic view to achieving competitive advantage, as a function of physical, institutional, infrastructural, and policy factors. The study thus explores the existing market OPPORTUNITIES for Ethiopia and the CHALLENGES it faces in benefiting from these market OPPORTUNITIES .
