Socio-economic context and role of agriculture

چکیده
The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia is a landlocked country in the Horn of Africa and is one of the most biologically and culturally diverse countries on the continent. With a population of about 92 million, Ethiopia is the second most populous country in Sub-Saharan Africa. Despite being one of the poorest countries, with a per capita income of US$454 (substantially lower than the regional average), Ethiopia’s recent economic and development performance is staggering; economic growth averaged 10.6 percent per year from 2007 to 2012. However, due in part to deficiencies in purchasing power and high inflation, Ethiopia is still heavily reliant on foreign aid, receiving 25 percent of global food aid destined for Sub-Saharan Africa.1
