Attractions close to Southern Ethiopia lacks for any clearly defined tourist circuit, and it would be limiting rather than helpful to attempt to describe it in terms of a prescribed loop.

There is an obscure but rewarding route running south from Addis Ababa to Butajira and Hosaina via Melka Kunture Prehistoric Site, the rock-hewnChurch of Adadi Maryam, and theTiya stelae field. Another follows the Rift Valley and its lakes from Addis Ababa south to the junction town ofShashemeneand city ofHawassa(Awassa). A third covers the wonderful trekking country and wildlife ofBale Mountains National Parkand environs. A fourth covers the road from Hawassa south toMoyaleon the Kenyan border.

Factory
ADAG has also a plan to build Edible Oil factory that enables to manufacture and market refined edible oil products from oilseeds including groundnut, rapeseed, sesame seed, and cotton seed. The factory will come into existence its building construction in the coming years and is based in Nazareth, Ethiopia. Ethiopia has a considerable potential for oilseeds production resulting from its diverse and favorable climate conditions as well as the existing large size of uncultivated land. Common and specialty Ethiopian oilseeds (safflower, castor beans and rapeseeds) are under high international demand due to their organic nature. Despite its potential and high international demands, the oilseeds sector in Ethiopia is constrained by several factors that can be grouped into production, processing and marketing problems. The ADAG Edible Oil Factory will establish to address these major problems. The dominant impression is that ADAG will play a key role in bringing stakeholders from the three societal sectors (public, private and civil society) together to participate in a new, loose governance structure that reasonably meets the majority of collaboration requirements. Assessments of the success factors in collaboration Demonstrate mixed results that range from low-high. Generally, the ADAG will perform better in the areas of its internal dynamics than in its external dynamics.

It is bottle-fed after mixing with warm water and it is full of all types of nutrients and vitamins a growing baby will need during the most important phase of his or her growth.

Adag International PLC
Management
ADAG was born in the mind and heart of the founder and owner of Addis Ayele and his spouse Hiwot Asnake. The starting point was the so-called Simple Business Ideas in the Mind, a historical initial stage for implementing potential project ideas with the aim of creating the business opportunity in Nazareth and the nearby society as a whole.
Businessman Addis Ayele was awarded the opportunity from his living God to commence small business activities with the support of immediate family in cooperation with the local Government. So, he acquired or started up enormous business activities in order to carry out both in and outside of Nazareth.
To create a suitable structure to bring together all these different operations, Addis Ayele formed the ADAG International PLC in 2005 with the help of his life partner and major shareholder of Hiwot Asnake. The strategy was to let each business unit develop according to its own potential, but also to work with each other as much as possible to create synergy effects. Each business unit has the goal to become best in their own industry while at the same time being a natural part of the ADAG Business Group in the coming years.
The strategy has been a success because today ADAG is a leading player with operations in various cities of the country and earns an annual turnover of over 200 million Ethiopian Birr. All these well-established and highly organized business units were brought together in an integral and mutually constructive alliance.
ADAG is headed by a dynamic, motivated and efficient team currently led by the Manager, Mr Addis Ayele. He is assisted by Mr. Moti Irana (Assistant Operational Manager) and Mrs Meron (Marketing Manager) and the permanent staff 50 and Temporary staff 100. ADAG believes in a hands-on approach on all trading, manufacturing and others business activities. That is why a Manager of the firm will always be in control of the key functions on all activities. ADAG is equipped with the latest technology and has the necessary staff and resources to ensure the best professional service to provide at all times. The firm is backed up by up-to-date Insurance, which can be extended to cover risk on any size business activities the firm undertakes both locally and abroad.
