This was necessary as domestic sugar mills, including the autonomous factories at Wonji Shoa, Metehara, Kessem, Fincha, and Tana Beles, were operating well below capacity. After several months of unsuccessful negotiations, ESIG decided to cancel the contract, leading to the current litigation. The...
