May 03,2022 (ENA) Ethiopia needs to focus on import substitution amid the existing external and internal challenges, Economics Lecturer Berhanu Denu said. “I had an opportunity to visit one site of wheat production where cluster approaches are being used. Very extensive wheat production has been underway, and it is progressing in most of the regions. I am sure about 60 to 65 percent of the wheat imports have already been substituted by domestic production. I am sure we will be able to fully stop wheat import and even be able to export some in the coming few years,” Berhanu stated.
