The Head of Amhara region administration visited the current commendable wheat cultivation in Moret-Jiru woreda, North Shewa Zone, Amhara region.

He stated that the current cultivation of the wheat crop by Moret-Jiru woreda farmers is evidence that Ethiopia can be self-sufficient in food grains.

Increasing the productivity of agriculture improves the living standard of the citizens and ensures the prosperity aspirations of the country, Yilkal Kefale wrote on his social media platform.
