With rapid population growth, increased demand for more food, fragile ecosystems, increasing energy demand, and imminent dangers from climate change, the agricultural sector in Ethiopia will invest in technological advances to guarantee food security at the household level, ensure the availability of sufficient supply for industries, and increase the production of selected agricultural outputs for the export market.
The agriculture sector extends its opportunities to farmers, industrialists, exporters, aggregators, and other key players, and the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) is committed to working with all involved to ensure the transformation of the sector will be realized at a much faster pace than ever before. The three domains MoA will be focusing on will center on the provision of optimal incentives to sector participants, availing evidence, data, skills, and knowledge to farmers, extension workers, scientists, and policy makers, and to invest in key priority infrastructures to translate the country's natural resources to good and sustainable use.
