Ethiopia Targets Digital Registration of Four Million Farmers by 2028

On 8 November, Ethiopia's Agricultural Transformation Institute reported plans to register up to four million farmers in a national digital database by 2028. Nearly one million farmers have already been enrolled, with the programme operating across 385 districts in seven regions. No total programme budget was disclosed. The initiative creates opportunities for data-collection companies, digital identity specialists, agricultural training providers and field recruitment agencies. HPC can support workforce sourcing, digital skills training and implementation partnerships.
