Ethiopia shares ‘rare’ success story, sets its sights on becoming an African breadbasket

Ethiopia has set its sights on becoming a regional breadbasket, the country’s finance minister Semereta Sewasew said on Thursday. Sewasew was speaking on the sidelines of the African Development Bank Group’s Annual Meetings in Accra during a discussion on building climate resilience in the agriculture sector. The topic has gained renewed currency in light of the Russia-Ukraine war, which has deepened food shortages and led to soaring world food prices. Africa in particular is vulnerable, given that the two European nations are major suppliers of grains to the continent.
