The Ministry of Agriculture and its affiliates collect farmers’ crops.

Leaders and staff of the Ministry of Agriculture and its affiliated institutions have gathered farmers in Nano Jewe Kebele, Sebeta Hawas Woreda of Oromia State.

State Minister of Agriculture and Horticulture, Dr. Meles Mekonnen on the occasion said the purpose of the program is to support the efforts being made by the Development Bank and to encourage farmers to reduce crop wastage and pay special attention to summer irrigation development.

The state minister said work is underway to harvest 374.66 million quintals of land, covering 12.9 million hectares of land this budget year.

In order to harvest 70 percent of the next crop, he said, it would be necessary to reduce the waste by using harvesting and threshing machines in areas suitable for mechanization and mobilizing farmers’ families, students and government workers elsewhere.

He also joined the #beka Movement in protest of Western pressure on Ethiopia.
