Ethiopia’s arabica coffee export earnings are forecast to climb 25% to about US$900 million (RM2.85 billion) in 2014-15 because of higher prices after a drought damaged plants in the biggest grower of the bean, Brazil, an industry group said. Arabica prices on the Ethiopia Commodity Exchange could average US$2 a pound if supplies of the crop in the world market are tight, Ethiopian Coffee Exporters’ Association general manager Alemseged Assefa said in the capital, Addis Ababa. Ethiopia is Africa’s biggest producer of the crop and the origin of the arabica plant. “Prices are favourable this year because of the Brazilian coffee drought,” Alemseged said in an interview on Monday. “We presume that price will continue because of the drought.” Arabica has surged 71% in New York since January after a drought hurt plantings in Brazil, the world’s biggest exporter of the beans, fuelling speculation that consumption may outstrip supply. The Brazilian woes come as plantings in Cen

Abstract Iodine deficiency remains a public health problem in Ethiopia and in the study area despite a proclamation in 2011 that all salt for human consumption should be iodized. A community-based cross-sectional study assessed prevalence of goiter and KAP of 193 randomly selected women. The mean (SD) age was 25.6 (8.1) years and the mean household size was 5.7 (2.1). Of the women 48.7% had no education, 17.6% knew some reading, 25.4% had attended or completed elementary school and 8.3% attended or completed high school. Goiter was assessed in 191 women by palpation; 23% had visible and an additional 33% had palpable goiter. Of the participants, 93.8% said they didn’t use iodized salt and 87.6% didn’t know the benefits of iodized salt. Of the 24 women who reported knowing the benefits of iodized salt, 23 said it prevents goiter but none mentioned cognitive effects. The women suggested causes of goiter to be drinking dirty water, drinking tap water, drinking rain water, but only t

Understanding how much revenue a government could collect compared to what it does, helps show how best to reform revenue policy and administration. How much revenue do countries collect? How much should they be collecting? These might seem like straightforward questions for governments, but in reality the answer is often elusive. In this article we use the example of Ethiopia to show how tax gap analysis is paving the way for extensive revenue reforms there. A country’s tax gap is defined as the difference between revenue potential (the theoretical amount of revenue that could be collected under the existing legal framework) and the amount of revenue that is actually collected. Tax gap analysis is a powerful tool that highlights where governments can improve their revenue systems, particularly by: Identifying any loopholes that exist in current legislation Offering policy choices to governments (by expanding the tax base, introducing new taxes, or altering the rate or cov

Arguably, Ethiopia's nation building course is far from over. Many agree it is in fact far from being on the right track. But inarguably Ethiopia is a state - a state that has its own constitution with a clearly marked distinction between the executive, the judiciary and the legislative; a state that is playing international and regional roles of its own creed and capacity; a state that is signatory to numerous international conventions ranging from protecting individual liberty to its environment. But if one goes by the country's recent crackdown against journalists, bloggers, opposition party members and Muslim protestors, it is compellingly easy (and tempting) to question whether the country's security apparatus is acting as if this is a failed state and getting along with it. Following the arrest last April of six bloggers and three journalists by the city police and members of the country's intelligence under questionable circumstances, the pre-tr
