አፍሪካ ከፍተኛውን የስንዴ መጠን ለማምረት ከሚችሉ ሀገራት መካከል ኢትዮጵያ አንዷ ናት። ነገር ግን ስንዴን አሁንም ከውጭ ታስገባለች። አሁን ግን ከውጪ በማስገባት ፈንታ በመስኖ ልማት አማካኝነት ምርታማነትን ለመጨመር አቅደናል። በቤኒሻንጉል ጉሙዝ እና በጋምቤላ በቅርቡ የታዩት ውጤቶች ተስፋ የሚጣልባቸው ናቸው። በሶማሌ ክልል የቆላ ስንዴ ምርትም እንዲሁ የሚያበረታታ ነው። ለዓመታዊው የ #አረንጓዴ ዐሻራ የሚሆን ችግኝ በሦስቱም ክልሎች በሚገባ እየተዘጋጀ መሆኑን ተገንዝቤያለሁ።

While #Ethiopia is one of the largest wheat producers in #Africa, our aim is to further enhance productivity through irrigation schemes as part of import substitution endeavours. Recent activities in Beninshangul-Gumuz and Gambella are promising. As is implementation of lowland wheat production in Somali region. I am also pleased to learn the progress in seedlings production in nurseries throughout the three regions as we prepare for the annual #GreenLegacy planting season.
