Addis Ababa, July 9, 2026 (Ministry of Agriculture) – Ethiopia has recorded significant growth in livestock and fisheries productivity through the implementation of the “Yelemata Tirufat” (Bounty of the Basket) Initiative, driven by major investments in breed improvement, forage development, and animal health services, State Minister, at Ministry of Agriculture Ethiopia, Fikeru Regassa (PhD) announced.
Speaking at a press briefing, the state minister highlighted the achievements of the initiative over the past four years, noting that coordinated efforts to strengthen the livestock sector have substantially increased the production of milk, eggs, poultry, honey, and fish across the country.
According to Dr. Fikeru, the Ministry has focused on expanding access to improved breeds, enhancing feed resources, and strengthening veterinary and animal health services to boost productivity. As a result, the country’s breeding capacity has grown dramatically from 500,000 animals before the launch of the initiative to 4.3 million cows and heifers today.The state minister also reported major progress in poultry development. The annual distribution of one-day-old chicks has increased from 26 million before the initiative to 180 million this year, supporting the expansion of poultry production nationwide.
In the fisheries and apiculture subsectors, the government has invested in the establishment and upgrading of fish fry breeding centers while expanding access to modern beehives. This year alone, the distribution of fish fry reached 16.5 million, while 3 million modern beehives were provided to producers across the country.
The initiative’s impact is reflected in the sharp rise in agricultural output. Milk production increased from 7.1 billion liters to 15.7 billion liters, while chicken meat production grew from 90,000 tons to 253,000 tons during the same period.
Honey production also recorded remarkable growth, rising from 146,700 tons to 428,000 tons, while fish production expanded from 72,400 tons to 307,000 tons, according to the state minister.
Dr. Fikeru emphasized that these achievements demonstrate the effectiveness of integrated interventions aimed at improving productivity and strengthening food security. He added that the government will continue its efforts to further expand production and enhance the livelihoods of farmers and livestock producers throughout the country.

Improvement in poultry production is one of the most promising options to provide affordable protein and other essential nutrients to Africa’s rapidly growing population, but poultry diseases pose a constant threat to productivity, and limit the industry’s potential. Even though vaccination is proven as an effective way of protecting poultry, high temperatures in Africa make distribution of vaccines (which mostly need to be kept cold) a challenging task in the continent. This hurdle, combined with a lack of information about circulating infectious diseases, exposes small-scale producers to the risk of losing their flocks and livelihoods overnight.
In 2021, Ceva Santé Animale in partnership with GALVmed, and with the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), launched the PREVENT (PRomoting and Enabling Vaccination Efficiently, Now and Tomorrow) initiative to introduce hatchery vaccinations for day old chicks (DoC) in mid-size hatcheries in Africa. The overarching objective was to enable small-scale poultry producers in Africa to become more productive and efficient and to enhance their prospects for progression and advancement in the industry. And the targets were ambitious; over 50 million hatchery-vaccinated day-old chicks distributed annually through 36 medium-sized hatcheries spread across eight Africa countries. These were expected to benefit 150,000 poultry producers.
Three years since inception and with over a year left on the project, PREVENT has performed remarkably and is on track to achieving, and in some instances exceeding, its targets. Already, 31 hatcheries in 11 countries have been equipped to provide vaccinations to DoCs benefitting over 100,000 poultry farmers.

Driven by changing consumer preferences, economic factors, and regional dynamics, chicken meat and eggs are at the forefront of this growth. In this comprehensive analysis, we explore the key drivers behind the industry’s upward trajectory.
Feed efficiency and cost reduction
Advancements in poultry nutrition and management practices have led to improved feed efficiency. Lower input costs—particularly for feed, vaccines, and medications—have made chicken production more economically viable. As a result, consumers benefit from affordable chicken prices, encouraging higher consumption.
The role of technology
Precision agriculture, genetic selection, and data-driven decision-making have revolutionized poultry farming. Farmers can optimize feed conversion ratios, reduce waste, and enhance productivity. These technological innovations contribute to the industry’s growth.
Chicken as the preferred protein
In an increasingly health-conscious world, chicken remains a popular choice. It is lean, versatile, and adaptable to various cuisines. As inflation eases and wages improve, consumers continue to prioritize affordability, making chicken an attractive option.
