The export of Enjera to North America, Europe and Middle East has caused sharp rise on price of teff, according to sources. The prices of teff, a staple food for Ethiopians, and other food stuffs have been rising sharply in recent successive months, putting millions of people in Ethiopia at risk of severe hunger and destitution, the UK-based charity Oxfam has warned.
Close to 40,000 injera is being imported every month from Ethiopia to Washington, DC alone causing the price of a quintal of teff to 1,300 birr at home, while Teff made Injera is excessively manufactured there.
The importers are selling now 3 injera for $ 5/bag while Ethiopians are eating animal feed as they can’t afford buying it. Concerned Ethiopians are calling a boycott campaign on imported teff Enjera in North America and Europe.
This is not something political or religious matter. It's just moral obligation for all enjera lovers. but as for me I believe the Bible as the word of God and 2 Chronicles 7:14 says “ If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
let's humble ourselves and pray for our country just like what Daniel, Moses , Nehemiah and others men and women of God did for their nation. Beside praying we should help the poor by providing them their daily need. As far as I know Ethiopian farmers are the only ones growing teff . Those of us who are living overseas we don't need to spent 5 dollars for 3 enjera while 5 dollars is a weekly income for some people back home or even less.
It might seem cheap to you to buy 3 enjera with 5 dollrs but this transaction caused our fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers to sleep hungry with out food back home.
God Bless Ethiopia and as for me and my family we won't buy teff enjera !!!
For all enjera lovers ~
