肥沃的土地埃塞俄比亚是一个农牧业国家,农业人口占全国人口的90％以上。从自然条件来说,埃塞俄比亚的气候是良好的,雨量是充足的,土地是肥沃的,其肥沃的程度,甚至有人说,是“举世无匹”。埃塞俄比亚耕地的面积约占全国土地的9％,而草地和牧地面积占50％,森林面积不到4％。虽则可耕的土地在全国各地都可以找到,但一立集中在中央高原地区。其他可耕地区有东南高原地区和这个高原的东南侧以及沿阿瓦什河的大裂谷的部分地区。埃塞俄比亚全国可灌溉的土地估计为四十万公顷以上,而实行灌溉的土地只有近天然水源的四万公顷左右的土地。
Fertile land Ethiopia is an agricultural country, with more than 90% of the country’s agricultural population. Ethiopia’s climate is good weather conditions, rainfall is abundant, the land is fertile and its fertility is even claimed to be “world-class.” Ethiopia’s arable land accounts for about 9% of the country’s land, while grassland and pastoral land cover 50% and forest area less than 4%. Although arable land can be found in all parts of the country, it is concentrated in the central plateau. Other arable areas include the southeast plateau and the southeastern side of the plateau and parts of the Great Rift along the Awash River. Ethiopia’s nationally irrigated land is estimated at over 400,000 hectares, while irrigated land is only about 40,000 hectares near natural water.
