Minister’s Re-appointment: Honoring Historic Milestones, Enthusiasm for Breakthrough Ahead

The Ethiopian Horticulture Producer Exporters Association (EHPEA) extends its warmest congratulations to H.E. Ato Addisu Arega, Minister of Agriculture, on remaining at the helm where his committed leadership drove historic milestones for the country’s horticulture subsector.

Under the astute leadership of H.E. the Minister in one year and a little over, the horticulture subsector has achieved historical milestones and resolved several long overdue issues that have contended for the industry’s growth for many years.

The Minister’s leadership and strategic directions have unlocked the subsector’s critical bottlenecks including among others, the issues of land lease and provision for expansion which our growers and investors desperately had, for many years, needed to thrive.

His leadership has, therefore, enabled the long-standing land issue to be responded that thousands of hectares of suitable and accessible lands have now been arranged at strategic locations in different parts of the country for horticulture expansion and new investments.

Impactful platforms have also been facilitated, through his leadership, to cultivate coordinated and strengthened relations, through strategic discussions and dialogue, with regional governments and pertinent stakeholders, thereby fostering an unprecedented collaboration, aligning public policy and activities with private sector energy to propel the entire horticulture subsector forward.

The Minister’s re-appointment is a true reflection of his leadership, expertise and unwavering commitment to the transformation of the country’s agriculture sector in general and the horticulture subsector in particular.

This re-appointment also ensures that the Minister’s legacy is firmly anchored in well-coordinated, collaborative and thriving agricultural ecosystem that will definitely foster the achievements and bring about impactful breakthroughs in the horticulture subsector.

It also paves, through his committed political leadership, the way for effective implementation of subsector-relevant policy frameworks, including the 10-year national horticulture strategy and the 15-year avocado development program among others, thereby boosting the subsector’s forex earnings from hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars now to billions and also the job creation from hundreds of thousands to millions among other enhanced socioeconomic gains.
