The Agricultural Transformation in Oromia

The needs for agricultural transformation in Oromia are justified by the importance of agriculture in the regional economy in terms of contribution to GDP, job creation, export market, and raw material for industries. The region also has a large population, who live below the poverty line. Further, the contribution of Oromia’s agriculture to Ethiopia accounts for 37% of livestock production and nearly 50 and 70% of grain (cereals, pulses and oil crops) and coffee production, respectively. Thus, the transformation of agriculture in Oromia would profoundly propel the overall agricultural transformation of the country.
The purpose of ATO is, therefore, to identify key investment areas that can maximize the return from agricultural investment on a sustainable basis.

The ATO focuses on new initiatives and priorities, implementation strategies, partners, platforms, and financing modalities to achieve the aspired agricultural transformation in the region.
