Abstract:
the lack of experienced staff coupled with the hirrh
mobility of staff. As of 1980, no expert has been
assigned to work on this important group of crops.
It is thus high-time that people are trained to work

carried out and meaningful results obtained.

was properly exploited Ethiopia could:
1. Stop importing fruits and nuts in different

9. Satisfy the local demand for fruits and nuts
for both direct consumers at reasonable
prices and for local arjro-industries - wine
making, soft drinks, etc.
3. Exploit the world market situation and earn
foreign exchange for the country.
