Irrigation: The Engine of Ethiopia’s Agricultural Change
Among the efforts underway to bring change in the agricultural sector, the main focus is on utilizing available surface and groundwater resources for irrigation development. Many areas that previously provided no benefit are now being transformed into centers of agricultural development through irrigation. The area where the Bilate River is located is a notable example of this. In the area, extensive fruit development projects are being carried out with the participation of private investors. This will greatly support the efforts being made to ensure food sovereignty.
