Thomson Reuters Foundation published an op-ed by IFPRI researchers Bart Minten and Alemayehu Seyoum Taffesse analyzing the current value chain of Ethiopia’s staple grain, teff. Still a nascent cash crop, Minten and Taffesse list various challenges, and provide recommendations to increase production and marketability of teff drawing from their new book, The Economics of Teff: Exploring Ethiopia’s Biggest Cash Crop. The op-ed has also appeared on the All Africa News website.
