Ethiopian Airlines has announced that it has finalised its preparation to serve only organic food for passengers starting February 13, 2021.
In a press conference recently, the airlines said the measure is helpful to promote indigenous Ethiopian farmers’ products that Ethiopian Airline uses for onboard services while providing all enhanced nutritional, healthy and sensorial quality meals for its passengers.
Furthermore, it will play a vital role in promoting the products harvested in Ethiopia with organic farming systems, thus increasing the demand in the international market through building the brand “Organically grown in Ethiopia.”
The source disclosed that in collaboration with registered and legal suppliers the airlines have been working to create opportunities for farmers availing their products to customers in Europe, the USA and Middle East countries.
Hence, Ethiopian airlines have been working to collaborate with Meki Batu Fruit and Vegetable Growers Cooperative to source organic agricultural products for its passengers.
At the event, it was noted that the initiative will also enable Ethiopian to unlock the potential of serving organic products, maintaining the nutritional and organoleptic quality of the meals from its modern in-flight catering.
It was learnt that the meals are made from only organic products in a customised manner with the international taste that is fully designed by Ethiopian well-experienced Chefs without using pesticides, fertiliser and others in the production process.
