Leading Ethiopia's Agricultural Mechanization Revolution
Tractor Assembly
Manufacturing
Import & Export
Ethiopia's agricultural modernization has created rising demand for tractors—a mechanical backbone for modern farming. Following government incentives like duty exemptions for agricultural machinery, more than 240 importers are now licensed.
These importers bring in tractors from global manufacturers, navigating licensing, foreign-exchange procedures, and customs with diligence, often working through Djibouti or becoming certified importers or contractors.
Importing fully assembled tractors isn't the only path. Local assembly plants are rising but still struggle with a skilled workforce and after-sales support.
The assembly approach helps Ethiopia reduce forex dependence, localize spare parts, and build technical capacities on home soil.
Founded by Mazengia Demma in Addis Ababa over two decades ago, MAZ Trading expanded from automobiles, gemstones, and hospitality into the tractor market.
MAZ Trading initially capitalized on Ethiopia's duty-free import regime, sourcing high-quality tractors and serving local farms. Their existing infrastructure in logistics and customer care provided immediate market access.
By marketing reliable foreign tractors and offering parts and services, MAZ built strong brand trust among agribusinesses and government agencies—leveraging their multi-sectoral backing in the Ethiopian enterprise space.
Today, MAZ Trading is in the final stages of completing a tractor assembly plant located in Akaki Kality, Addis Ababa. This facility will locally assemble both tractors and electric vehicles—reducing import volume, creating jobs, and boosting Ethiopia's industrial skills. Their vision aims to place Ethiopia as a regional supplier of agricultural machinery.

Local assembly lowers import dependency and strengthens foreign-exchange positions.
Training and technical expertise are built domestically, reducing reliance on foreign service teams.
Assembly operations naturally spur employment—in manufacturing, logistics, maintenance, and sales.
Easier access to tractors enables mechanization among smallholder farmers, boosting productivity and food security.
MAZ Trading's facility will need to tackle challenges like workforce training, quality control, spare parts availability, and robust after-sales support. Yet their multi-industry experience, government-friendly positioning, and track record bode well for a successful rollout.
Ethiopia's tractor market is evolving—shifting from pure importing to domestic assembly as local capacities ramp up. MAZ Trading's journey from importer to near-ready manufacturer showcases how visionary firms can lead this transformation, contributing to Ethiopia's agricultural mechanization and industrial goals. Their soon-to-be-operational assembly plant marks a pivotal moment in nation-building—one tractor at a time.
