Ethiopia prepared an integrated wheat drive to cut imports

In early June 2019 APA News, carried by Journal du Cameroun, reported that Ethiopia had finalized preparations for an “Integrated Wheat Production” push aimed at cutting costly wheat imports.

Wheat is both a staple and an FX drain when domestic harvests fall short, so an import-substitution drive sat at the intersection of agriculture, inflation, and foreign exchange stress.

Kept as agri and economy archive, the wire dates Addis Ababa’s mid-2019 wheat self-sufficiency pitch.
