Vegetable value chains during the COVID- 19 pandemic in Ethiopia: Evidence from cascading value chain surveys before and during the Pandemic
New ESSP Working Paper by Kalle Hirvonen, Belay Mohammed, Seneshaw Tamru, Gashaw Tadesse Abate and Bart Minten.

Seasonality is even more pronounced when access to storage is limited, leading to low opportunities for price arbitrage. This leads to low incomes and food insecurity for smallholder farmers during the lean season, the “higher […]
Irrigation and agricultural transformation in Ethiopia
The climate change forecasts for Ethiopia predict higher temperature and rainfall and increased variability in rainfall with periodic severe droughts and floods. The increased weather variability poses a check on the extent of Ethiopia’s agricultural transformation unless it is supported with improved agricultural water management such as irrigation to make smallholder farming resilient to adverse […]
