Ethiopia Intends to Achieve Food Production Self-Sufficiency
18:51 24.07.2023 (Updated: 21:23 24.07.2023) According to a UN report dated back to May this year, more than 40% of people facing the world's acute food shortages live in just five countries: Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, parts of Nigeria and Yemen. In Ethiopia, 23.6 million people experience various forms of food insecurity.
Ethiopia, which is on the list of the poorest countries in the world according to statistics, intends to achieve self-sufficiency in food production, said the Prime Minister of the African country Abiy Ahmed.
He noted that Ethiopia faces insufficient access to raw materials and fertilizers, seeds and technologies. Prices for quality food have increased significantly, making a healthy diet inaccessible to the majority of the population, the politician said, speaking at the UN food meeting, which opened on Monday in Rome.
According to the country's leader, Ethiopia is on its path to modify the food system.
In Ethiopia, he noted, work is underway to transform the food system in accordance with the country's international and national commitments, programs and initiatives have been launched to ensure the immunity of the food systems to external factors and climate change. According to Abiy Ahmed, his government is making efforts to achieve self-sufficiency of Ethiopia's food system. According to the prime minister, food is not only food, "it is home and life."
In March this year, Ethiopia's Minister of Planning and Development, Fitsum Assefa, said that the nation had
achieved the status of an exporter of wheat this year, starting to grow it in sufficient volume for export.
