Affordability of fruits and vegetables in Ethiopia
As in many other low-income countries, fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption is very low in Ethiopia.

Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Programme (PSNP) is a large-scale social protection intervention aimed at improving food security and stabilizing asset levels.
The findings from this study reveal that, on an economy-wide ba-sis, the benefits of PSNP significantly exceed the cost of PSNP transfers.
Using household survey data from 2013 covering more than 7,000 households in five regions of Ethiopia, we investigate the impact of women’s empowerment in agriculture on the nutritional outcomes of children and women.
Seasonality in agricultural production continues to shape intra-annual food availability and prices in low-income countries.
We estimate the impact of improved market access on household well-being and nutrition using a quasi-experimental setting in Ethiopia.
Chronic undernutrition in Ethiopia is widespread and many children consume highly monotonous diets.
Using child-level panel data from rural areas of Ethiopia, we analyze effects of both economic and non-economic shocks on child cognition skills measured after the early childhood age window.
Ethiopia’s food economy is transforming fast.
The agricultural sector in Ethiopia and in other developing countries is increasingly asked to contribute to reducing undernutrition as well as poverty and food insecurity.
The paper revisits seasonality by assessing how the quantity and quality of diets vary across agricultural seasons in rural and urban Ethiopia.
Research does not always provide the results that we expect.
This study uses two rounds of the Ethiopian Demographic Health Survey (EDHS) to statistically analyze patterns and trends in undernutrition (child growth) in Ethiopia over the period 2000 to 2011.
We study the relationship between pre-school children’s food consumption and household agricultural production.
In rural economies encumbered by significant market imperfections, farming decisions may partly be motivated by nutritional considerations, in addition to income and risk factors.
Beginning in April 2008, lack of access to foreign exchange effectively stopped private sector wheat imports.
