And the trade between Abyssinia and East Africa, throughout the entire year of 1882, has become the sixth-largest trade nation for East Africa, only following Oman, so East Africa places a comparatively high importance on the Abyssinian Empire.
Currently, the top trade partners of East Africa before the Abyssinian Empire are the Far East Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Germany, Tsarist Russia, and Oman.
Oman's prominence is mainly due to the presence of Zanzibar merchants as intermediaries, with many goods sold to the Arab region being distributed in Oman, extending influence to the Middle East, Central Asia, and even parts of Southeast Asia.
And the trade between the Abyssinian Empire and East Africa has also caused the entire Turkana Province's border trade to surpass the Southern Border Province, currently only behind the Central Province and the Eastern Province.
