Ethiopia's defense forces are making significant contributions to agriculture beyond national protection duties, stated their agricultural development directorate.

Brigadier General Eshetu Arage, director of mechanization technology at the directorate, noted that they halted long-standing input subsidies burdening the public. This aimed to boost agricultural productivity. He emphasized the forces' role not only as sovereignty guardians but also as defeaters of farmers' adversaries, advancing the national food security goal.

The recently established institute operates based on Ministry of Agriculture objectives. It is setting up agricultural development centers in various areas to improve grain, fruit, and vegetable production.

Securing peace and food self-sufficiency requires collective effort from all, the directorate stressed. The Ministry of Agriculture and regional authorities expressed thanks for the support and urged continued backing for the activities under political guidance.
