Value chains in Ethiopia : Bill Gates' vision

Here is a movies from Bill Gates about agriculture and health in Ethiopia. It give a great overview of the current situation in Ethiopia.

This movie shows the importance of creating market access for smallholders. Market access does not mean to just be able to sell a product. It implies looking at the whole production chain, making sure that the farmers can access seeds and sell their product later on. The movie shows what it means to develop a value chain and points out some success stories in Ethiopia.
