Synopsis (short abstract) The Government of Ethiopia has identified the potential of agro-industrialization to lead a structural transformation of the economy and a modernization of the agriculture sector, fostering improved production and productivity of crops and livestock, as well as an increased commercialization of strategic agro-commodities. This approach is expected to make markets available for smallholder farmers to sell their produce, contributing to increased incomes, creating off-farm employment in processing and services (particularly for youths) and economic opportunities for SMEs, thus contributing to the reduction of poverty in rural areas.

    With the current Second Growth and Transformation Plan (2015-2020), the Government of Ethiopia expects the agro-industrial sector to play key role in economic growth of the Country. Accordingly, the creation of Integrated Agro-Industrial Parks has been identified as one of the key mechanisms for accelerating the development of the sector and the structural transformation of agriculture. Agro-industrial parks will play a significant role in transitioning Ethiopia from an agricultural-led into an industrial-led economy. In view of that, the development of Integrated Agro-Industrial Parks has been prioritized in Ethiopia’s national development strategy and four Agro-Industrial Growth Corridors have been selected for piloting the establishment of four Integrated Agro-Industrial Parks. The initiative aims at driving the structural transformation of the Ethiopian economy while reducing rural poverty and creating a better environment for increased investments in agro-processing and allied sectors. Since 1981, FAO has been a strong partner of the Government of Ethiopia towards the achievement of national food security and economic growth goals. FAO is working closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources to empower value chain actors and to promote inclusive, efficient and sustainable agricultural value chains. The present document is the second one of a series of detailed analyses of prioritized commodities, which will lead to inclusive, sustainable and stronger agricultural value chains in the Agro-Commodities Procurement Zone of the pilot Integrated Agro-Industrial Park in Central-Eastern Oromia.

    The FAO Nigeria Country Programming Framework (CPF) 2023-2027, succeeding the CPF 2018-2022, aligns with the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-31 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2023-2027, as well as national development priorities. The CPF's major aspiration is to achieve sustained and inclusive economic growth and development by providing equitable opportunities for decent employment and livelihoods. This will be realized through strengthened and inclusive, climate-smart agri-food value chains, diversified production systems, and inclusive economic development via the creation of decent jobs. The CPF outputs applied in the Hand in Hand Initiative (HiH) in Nigeria include enhanced agricultural productivity through improved practices and technologies, improved food security and nutrition by optimizing food systems, strengthened rural development via infrastructure and market access enhancements, increased resilience of communities to economic and environmental shocks, and the promotion of inclusive growth to ensure that vulnerable populations, including smallholder farmers and marginalized groups, benefit from the initiative's economic growth and development efforts.
