... It always gives Us pleasure to see the rapid establishment of industries
in Ethiopia. Big or small, industries are vital instruments for the
development and progress of a nation and for the improved standard of
living of its people. The services which industries render to a nation are
not solely limited to producing various articles for the benefit of the
people; they also provide opportunities of gainful employment.
The advent of modernization and progess entail new modes of life, and
this new mode of life demands, to a certain extent, the establishment of
industries for processing food products.
The expansion of food processing plants should go hand in hand with
those producing drinks and beverages. A shortage in the former would
create an imbalance in the needs of an improved standard of living.
Therefore, We hoep that more attention shall be given to the expansion of
food processing industries, while setting up beverage plants. We extend
Our thanks to all those who have contributed in the establishment of this
factory. We are pleased to see Ethiopians participate as share-holders in
such factories, and it is with pleasure that We open todya this Pepsi-Cola
factory.
