Djibouti and Ethiopia have different climates and geography, but their close economic and political relationship comes from being neighbors in the Horn of Africa.
Ethiopia has a mix of hot lowlands and cooler highlands, and on the other hand, Djibouti has hot coastal areas. They need flexible bitumen grades that can handle a range of temperatures.
Infinity Galaxy helps you to buy your desired bitumen from the Middle East for the Djibouti port.
Bitumen Price in Ethiopia
Bitumen prices in Ethiopia are determined by adding the price of bitumen in Djibouti to the cost of land transportation to Ethiopia. For smooth delivery, it’s important to include a transit clause in the bill of lading when the destination is Ethiopia. This allows customers to easily arrange truck transportation for moving the containers to their final destinations.
