His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I on Encouraging Agriculture
His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie I was a strong advocate in developing Agriculture in Africa. Haile Selassie knew Agriculture was vital in the sustenance of the economy in Africa.
Therefore, it is my duty to share the information on the speech by HIM to all. I will write this speech in hope of the recognized need of Agriculture.
The development of any nation has a lot to do with its agriculture department. Therefore let us do all we can to develop and to maintain our rich heritage in farming.

ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE by Haile Selassie I
“…While Our people who earn their living from farming and animal husbandry cannot today gain equally as they did in the last previous years from the export of cereals,
We have taken adequate measures to maintain their prosperity, and the value of our currency in the international market, is maintaining its previous value.
