On 11th November 2022, at the premises of the EIMA exhibition in Bologna, it was officially celebrated the signature of a distribution agreement between the Ethiopian company Soil & More and the Italian company Aster.

This important milestone was achieved thanks to continuous support to both counterparts by UNIDO ITPO Italy since spring 2022, within the framework of the project "Fostering International Partnerships between companies and/or institutions operating in the Energy and Environment sectors" (#FIPEE) funded by the Italian Ministry of Environment (MiTE) and implemented by UNIDO ITPO Italy.

The agreement - notably signed at the presence of Her Excellency the Ambassador of Ethiopia to Italy, Demitu Hambisa Bonsa - has the goal to promote collaboration in order to contribute to provide rural communities in Ethiopia with innovative solutions for precision agriculture and an efficient use of water resources.
