Abstract

The current work summarizes the trends of imported rennet and dairy machinery as the Dairy sector is where the concept of value addition has been successfully adopted along the supply chain and results benefits value chain actors. Rennet is crucial input for dairy industry especial for cheese production and as it is a proteolytic enzyme main contains pepsin and chymosin extracted from animals and microbiological sources especially from suckling forth stomach of calf and other ruminant mammals. As cheese production grows the demand of the general all milk coagulating enzymes also increasing. The global coagulating enzymes market is segmented by based on nature of product that is either source of origin or form. In Ethiopia, the dairy industries use imported commercial rennet for cheese production since there is no industry that can produces rennet in the country and the industries use different dairy machinery imported for processing. Ethiopia imported about 10,226.23 kg in net weight rennet for the last ten-year 2007 to 2016. To import this volume the country had spent 1,843,749.09 Ethiopian Birr or 107,007.6597 Dollar of United States of America. Similarly, within the same last ten years Ethiopia imported dairy machinery in net weight around 337,119 Kg from different 22 countries and to import this volume the country had spent 110,340,118 Ethiopian Birr.
