Imports

Most petroleum products are imported via Djibouti (80%) and Port Sudan (20%) by the Ethiopian Petroleum Supplies Enterprise (EPSE) and the procurement is based on the ESA’s quality standards. Regular gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet A-1 (aviation fuel), and heavy and light fuel oils are imported from Djibouti, while only regular gasoline is imported via Sudan.

The limitation of entry points to the country and procuring only through the EPSE has had a negative effect on monopolizing the procurement.
