Overview
Ethiopian Sugar Industry Group (ESIG) is the state-owned sugar producer held by Ethiopian Investment Holdings. It was established under Council of Ministers Regulation No. 590/2022, which restructured and replaced the former Ethiopian Sugar Corporation, and it produces sugar and sugar by-products across a portfolio of factories and development projects including Metehara, Wonji Shewa, Finchaa, Kessem, Arjo Dedessa, Tendaho, Tana Beles, Omo Kuraz and Welkayit. Its consolidated statements are audited by Audit Services Corporation under the Office of the Federal Auditor General and have carried a qualified opinion in every year published; the group has reported a loss after tax in each of the last five fiscal years, driven by foreign exchange losses and finance costs on the sugar development programme's debt.
Total income rose 13% to ETB 8.67bn while cost of sales fell to ETB 4.47bn, halving the loss after tax to ETB 5.30bn. The foreign currency exchange loss eased to ETB 3.10bn and finance costs to ETB 4.29bn, but operating activities still absorbed ETB 6.51bn of cash. Total assets stood at ETB 179.26bn against liabilities of ETB 87.81bn, with equity of ETB 91.45bn after the year's loss.
