Poultry Traders are exiting the Ethiopian market in large numbers. Reportedly, due to the increase in VAT on chicken feed and other reasons, the producers engaged in the poultry sector are facing losses and they are leaving the market.
The increase in VAT on chicken feed has led to the increase in the cost of feed and the price of eggs in the market.
Znaw Sunneh, the manager of the Ethiopian Poultry Breeders and Processors Association, says that in the past, the production of eggs and poultry was high in the market, but now, especially after the imposition of VAT on chicken feed, producers have been severely tested.
Another reason for the increase in the price of chicken feed is the lack of dollars to import feed processing inputs. Reportedly, there is a shortage of corn, which is one of the resources used by the poultry industry. Security problem in different areas is further exacerbating the situation, making it difficult for traders to deliver their products.

This is a recurrent feature of the poultry industry in Ethiopia. The main problem in my opinion is there is no a committed and continous leadership in the sector in particular and crop and animal agriculture in general. Financing the sector, marketing facilities and linkages, supplies of in puts particularly chicks, premixes, drugs, equipment should be given due concern. The possibility of manufacturing domestically also should be sought.
Ethiopia is such a beautiful and promising country. I visited the country for the first time 23 years ago. I said to myself ” wow, this is wonderful, this is a dreamland”. I anticipated that by now the country would exhibit prosperity in all aspects, but unfortunately, things are running counter to my expectations. I earnestly urge the people of Ethiopia, irrespective of their positions and ranks to dump all causes of differences and conflicts aside and care for the prosperous future and well-being of this paradise.
What a disaster to this poor country
