Agricultural Production Activity in Highlands and Lowlands

Ethiopia holds large potential for dairy development. The country currently manages the largest livestock population in Africa, estimated at 52 million cattle, 24 million sheep and goats, 18 million camels, 1 million equines and 53 million poultry.In addition, the country enjoys diverse topographic and climatic conditions. These consist of a high central plateau ranging from 1,800 to 3,000 meters above sea level, a rift valley that divides the country from north to south with altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 1,800 meters and lowland plain areas of less than 1,000 meters in altitude.

Depending on the altitude, temperatures range from less than 100c in alpine areas to 350c and higher in lowland areas. Moreover, rainfall in most of the country is adequate for crop and pasture production. The favorable climate throughout the country supports use of improved and high-yielding animal breeds and offers a relatively disease-free environment for livestock development.
