Dutch brewing company Heineken is set to open a new brewery in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in a move to expand its presence in Africa.
The proposed brewery will be opened in July this year, with a capacity to brew 1.5 million hectoliters of beer annually.
It will initially produce local brands such as Bedele and Harar, with plans to produce the company's premium lager beer in the next coming years.
