Ethiopia Commodity Exchange

The Ethiopia Commodity Exchange (ECX) is a commodities exchange established in April 2008. Its aim is to revolutionize Ethiopia's tradition-bound agricultural sector by making a new marketplace that will serve all the market players: the farmers, the traders, the exporters, the processors and the consumers. The ECX is a private company which is owned by a unique partnership of the market actors, the Members of the Exchange, and the Ethiopian government. The first year of The Ethiopia Commodity Exchange's existence is documented in the PBS Wide Angle film The Market Maker. ECX is led by Dr. Eleni G/Medhin, a former World Bank economist.
