A National Logistics Project, Cool Port Addis is Ethiopia's central value chain facility for perishable import and export goods, located at Modjo Dry Port the country's principal inland terminal. Cool Port Addis offers a wide range of value chain services such as packing and grading to farmers of all sizes.
