Descripción
Despite the high rates of economic growth recorded over the past 15 years,the Ethiopian economy remains fundamentally agricultural. Structuraltransformation, understood as the transfer of financial and human resourcesfrom the agricultural sector to the industrial sector, modern services andagricultural modernization, is still incipient. To further stimulate thedevelopment of the agro-industry sector, in 2015, the Government of Ethiopiainitiated a policy on the establishment of integrated Agro-CommodityProcurement Zones (ACPZs) and Integrated Agro-Industrial Park (IAIP)Development. Seventeen ACPZs were identified across the country, based ontheir potential for agribusiness development, of which four were selected,located in Oromia, Amhara, Tigray and Southern Nations, Nationalities andPeoples Region (SNNPR). These were related to the four pilot parks to bedeveloped in the first phase (2020-2025). Against this background, theGovernment of Ethiopia requested that FAO provide technical support toprepare Comprehensive Development Frameworks and Investment Plans forthe four pilot ACPZs.
