Ethiopia Registering Impressive Year-on-Year Wheat Productivity, Says PM Abiy

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Ethiopia is registering remarkable year-on-year improvements in wheat productivity.

On October 29 he reviewed the rainy season wheat harvest, launched summer wheat production, and assessed banana, papaya, and fish clusters in East Shewa Zone.

The PM posted on X: “Our visit today to East Shewa Zone focused on reviewing the rainy season wheat harvest and launching the summer wheat production activities.”

In the same area, he also assessed the progress of the banana, papaya, and fish clusters.

“Although traditional farming methods still exist, the growing adoption of mechanization in the area is significantly enhancing agricultural efficiency and productivity,” the premier noted.

Reflecting on the past, he wrote “had we embraced such modern approaches many years ago, our agricultural output would have been vastly different.”

Today, “we are already witnessing remarkable year-on-year improvements in productivity,” the PM noted.

In conclusion, Abiy stated that “ultimately, no external help is coming. It is our own dedication, innovation, and hard work that will drive the true transformation of our nation.”
