FOR CONSULTANCY SERVICE
The National
Nucleus Project (NNP) ‘rubber plantation and processing’ of Ethiopia
was established following a feasibility study which ascertained the
viability of rubber industry in the Ethiopian context. The
processing plant, which is very important to convert the latex
collected from the rubber trees into dry rubber sheets, was designed
as part of the feasibility study that was considered to reflect the
demand of the local factories. However, today in consideration of
the expansion of the rubber commercial plantation at a bidder scale,
it is eventually recognized that the capacity as well as the
processing technology of the processing plant has to be compatible
to the existing national and international rubber market demands.

processing’ of Ethiopia invites interested, competent and recognized
firms and/or individual rubber technology consultants to perform the
