Agriculture in Ethiopia is the foundation of the country's economy, accounting for roughly a third of gross domestic product (GDP), 84% of exports, and 75% of total employment. Ethiopia's agriculture is plagued by periodic drought, soil degradation caused by overgrazing, deforestation, high levels of taxation and poor infrastructure (making it difficult and expensive to get goods to market).
