Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Strengthening the linkage between the agriculture and industry sectors is vital to accelerate Ethiopia\u2019s transformation into industrialization, experts said.<\/p>\n

The Ethiopian Economic Association held discussion on financial liberalization and agriculture-industry linkages in Ethiopia today.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian Economic Association (EEA) CEO, Professor Mengistu Ketema told ENA that the linkage between the agriculture and industry sectors has been weak for years.<\/p>\n

This trend has to be changed for both sectors to flourish in the future and for the nation to benefit from these key sectors, he added.<\/p>\n

Citing that most of the industries in the country are using imported inputs from abroad, the CEO stated that Ethiopia has a huge agricultural sector which could contribute greatly for the growth of the industry.<\/p>\n

According to him, the growth of the industry sector is inevitably pivotal in creating jobs, gaining foreign exchange and or substituting import by local products.<\/p>\n

As a result, the sector has a huge role to play in boosting the economy of the nation, Professor Mengistu noted.<\/p>\n

Solomon Tsehay, a lecturer at Addis Ababa University said working on strengthening the linkage between agriculture and industry is vital for Ethiopia to accelerate its transformation into industrialization.<\/p>\n

He believes that well designed planning and implementation has to be prioritized for the sectors to be more successful and for the linkages to be realty, among other measures.<\/p>\n

Apart from creating the planning and paperwork, evaluating and monitoring mechanisms are also crucial to realize the ambitions of the nation in the sectors, the lecturer pointed out.<\/p>\n

Highlighting that a nation like Ethiopia, with about 70 percent of its population depending on agriculture, Solomon said working on strengthening the linkage with industry should be a priority.<\/p>\n

Besides, he finally stressed the need for focusing on the productivity of the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n
