Ethiopia’s economy is dependent on agriculture which contributes more than 50% to GDP, about 60% to foreign exchange earning and provides livelihood to more than 85% of the population. Ethiopia has a large potential of water resources that could be developed for irrigation. Despite the large water resources, Ethiopia continues to receive food aid to about 10% of the population who are at risk annually, out of a total of more than 67 million. The government of Ethiopia is committed to solving this paradox through an agricultural led development program that includes irrigation development as one of the strategies. This paper compares rainfed and irrigated agricultural production in Ethiopia. Using the stochastic production frontier approach, the study concludes that irrigation development in Ethiopia is a viable development strategy but attention needs to be paid to improving the technology available to farmers under both rainfed and irrigated production.

This paper considers the implications of rising prices of major food commodities in southern Africa. First, a global perspective on the phenomenon is provided, focusing on the key factors driving the upsurge in prices. Recent trends in food prices in a representative selection of southern African countries are then considered. Emerging evidence of poverty impacts is presented. The policy challenges and options facing the region’s governments are then discussed. Broad conclusions round out the analysis. The paper’s central argument is that appropriate policy responses to effects of rising food prices involve a mix of short-term social protection responses, long-term measures aimed at spurring agricultural productivity growth, and domestic and regionally conceived and implemented efforts to rationalize and strengthen the roles of public sectors in the region’s food economies.

This book is devoted to the complex relationship between the global trading system and food security, focusing on two important elements: the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) and how food price volatility can be managed, or not, through trade instruments. The first section of the book is based on the premise that more trade integration can fight poverty and alleviate hunger. The second section examines whether managing price volatility is doable through more or less trade integration. This section deals in particular with policy instruments available for policy makers to cope with price volatility: food stocks, crop insurance, and export restrictions. Analysis concludes that without a strong and efficient World Trade Organization (WTO) capable of conducting ambitious trade negotiations, the food security target will be much more difficult to hit.
