The other possibility could be in trying to shift our staples away from Teff and start to use other cereals and more of vegetables. Our diet is dominated traditionally by a lot of budena (injera) with a little more additionals. The saying ወጥ ና ወንድም ማስፈራሪያ ነዉ comes to mind, this is not the case in the rest of the world, you can also eat just vegetables or meat, without a lot of budena.

We can produce Teff and use it as a cash crop to earn the similarly badly needed foreign currency, at least until we can afford to buy a quintal of Teff for 10K ETB.

Why should I pay 10K ETB for a quintal of Teff?

[Abere]

Diversifying diet is one thing, but Teff is the most economical when it comes to feeding a household. Always, cheap things are expensive. It is very sad to hear that people are buying Teff showing proof of income, installment payment is very disturbing to hear. What a time, really poverty is hurting.

Yes, we agree on that, poverty is hurting, hearbreaking, that is why I shared this video.

But we shouldn't allow oursleves to be a hostage to poverty, we should overcome poverty, we should eat enough. For that we need to work, there is no anything different expected from us.

The rest of the world can feed itself, ensure its food security, we have to struggle to eat just modestly. Poverty is hurting us, not only at the individual level, but at the societal level.

Teach your people how to work hard, earn first, and then think about politics. በአንተ ቤት ግን ነገሮች የተገላብጦሽ ናቸዉ፣ እርግማን!

You don’t understand the context of the proverb. Kill children, that is what you are best at.

Running a country is not as easy as PUTTING A LIPSTICK AND BENDING FOR THE ARABS.

You can’t out cheat the economy. Not with printing paper.
It is coming at you like a 20-ft wave.

I like the DTT and Abere give and take of ideas. It is however uncommon in ER.

Everyone in Ethiopia is my people. It is not Ethiopians are lazy nor their land unable to provide food. Food insecurity and hunger are associated with bad governance. Absence of good governance creates lots of shortages and insufficiency, including. ገባዬ እናት ነው ሲባል ሰምተሃል። የገባዬ ሞት እንደ እናት ሞት ይቆጠራል ምክንያቱም ገባያ የማያቀርበው ነገር የለም እንደ እናት ጓዳ። ገባየ ሲጠግብ ሰው ይጠግባል ማለት ነው።ጥሩ መንግስት ሆዱ የሞላ ዜጋ ይኖረዋል፥ ሆዱ የሞላ ዜጋ ደግሞ ሰላማዊ ነው።

You always come out to feed people with your usual stinky garbage lies. Otherwise there have always been scarcity and hunger in Ethiopia under all the begone governments including under King Haile Selassie. And the hungers were/are partly nature and partly man made. The man made part is through hoarding agricultural products and using it as political weapons to attack the government of the time like Abere the old liar bull is doing here. LAUGHABLE AND VERY FUNNY INDEED! Abere can ake the banana and get civilized!

Inflation amidst a commodity surplus is predominantly driven by high debt financing which distorts prices and drives the goods black market, which in a vicious circle trap deletes the commodity surplus gains. Aptly put by the minister, alas the meager actions through dsp wont cut the debt burden enough for us to see the light of day.

gearhead,


where do you get your data from?

I took my time and listened to the State Minister, Dr. Iyob Tekalegn, who seems to me someone who understands what he is talking about.
The problem with many Ethiopians is the fact that most of us don’t take our time to listen to the views of such individuals, but to that of the likes of Messay Mekonnon (?) instead (just compare the clicks of the Youtube video you posted with the one Messay and his likes may post to the internet.

The state minister clearly said in this interview and the PM also said on multiple times that the debt burden is not from the time of the current government’s tenure. It is inherited, it has to be paid back anyway.

Can you think why the IMF and other similar institutions decided to come back and start a new round of discussion after abandoning it before two or so years?

Points no one can erase is that the Ethiopian Economy has grown despite the many challenges it faced during the last few years. Economic growth is an objective assessment, unlike the subjective political assessment, which even the likes of Messay Mokonnon can engage in.

It is possible that the gain from the growth may not have been redistributed fairly and I am not sure there is anybody in the world that can ensure such a distribution be given.

Another point that we all can’t deny is also the fact that the forex-deficit has imposed its own burden on the economy, which may have to be dealt with, the state minister has also indicated this.

If the economy is growing it consumes more input and the domestic supply can’t satisfy this need. This is not a peculiar issue with the Ethiopian economy alone, that is where the world trade has to involve itself. In that case an adjustment of the foreign trade and optimizing the transactions could be necessary.

All in all, if we work, then we are not condemned to poverty and the vicious cycle you are talking about here. The future is more promising than the past from the perspective of this writer.

geredHead,

where are you hiding?

This man is one of the top economists in the country, Ato Zemedeneh Negatu, don't open the video, it may drive you nut.

Ethiopian Export grew yearly around 14% on average in the last 5 years (double that of the GDP).
