Ethiopia has earned 478 million US dollars from the export of agricultural products in the first eight months of this fiscal year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
The country missed its target of earning 538 million US dollars by attaining only 72 percent of its plan, said the Ministry while presenting its 8-month performance report to the House of People’s Representatives (HPR).
Dr Eyasu Abrha, Minister of Agriculture and Natural Resources attributed the failure to the price drop seen on some products and tariffs imposed by some countries.
Oilseed and pulses were among the agricultural products exported to various countries.
