Economic growth in Ethiopia has been led by the agricultural sector, which has been supported by policies aimed at smallholder farmers including an agricultural extension program providing modern practices, technology, and high-value crops. This has resulted in pro-poor economic growth that has significantly reduced poverty levels, especially in rural areas, through increased agricultural production and productivity. Key drivers of poverty reduction have included rising cereal, legume, and oil crop production due to expansion of cultivated land areas and increased usage of fertilizers and improved seeds, supported by overall strong economic growth over the past two decades.
