Going to the Market
Near Zewai, in the maize belt of Ethiopia’s Central Rift Valley, a mother and daughter transport maize grain to market by donkey cart. In this maize-dominated area, lysine inadequacy is a potential risk for weaning infants and young children, who could benefit
from quality protein maize. The southern maize belt is a target area for the Nutritious Maize for Ethiopia (NuME) project, funded by the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD).
