Ethiopia Targets Wheat Self-Sufficiency With New Farmland: First Lady's Office
The office has announced:
Construction of 14 factories with a daily production capacity of up to 300,000 loaves of bread and 420 quintals of flour;
Preparation of 500 hectares for the Semera Berhan Bread and Flour Factory; 100 hectares were sown with wheat in the first round, yielding 2,000 quintals of wheat.
This initiative is expected to play a major role in ensuring food security, stabilizing market prices, and strengthening the domestic production system.
