| The price of teff, a staple, has surged after a famine that is still pushing people to the city. |
| In the mid-range altitudes the farmer can grow millet and teff, another variety of wheat. |
| Area cultivated was down by 6 percent on last year due to farmers' pessimism leading to reduced planting of sorghum, teff and pulses. |
| The price drop in teff, however, was generally muted as a result of the population's preference for the crop. |
| Corn, rice, wheat, quinoa, teff, and other grains provide steady energy and filling fiber. |
| Scientists in the Netherlands have therefore been working on cultivation and further development of teff. |
