Help Shape The Future of Agriculture
Agriculture is the backbone of the Ethiopian economy, contributing significantly to GDP, employment, and export revenues. It accounts for a large portion of the workforce and generates a substantial amount of foreign currency, particularly through coffee exports. While smallholder farmers dominate the sector, challenges remain in terms of productivity, market access, and climate change vulnerability.
