Is there any information available regarding the economy of Ethiopia? 
 Ethiopia has 14 major rivers, which flow from its highlands, including the Nile. It is also the world's biggest maize(corn) producer. 
 That contributes to their economy? What else helps them out there? 
 With a focused investment in public infrastructure and industrial parks, Ethiopia's economy is addressing its structural problem to become a hub for light manufacturing in Africa. 
 Will that take some time or are they also working on other things? 
 Looks like they are on track as they are now the largest economy by Gross Domestic Product or GDP in East Africa. According to UN estimations the per capita GDP of has reaced $357. 
 How does the demographics contribute to everything? 
 Having the largest population in the region, they have become the largest economy. The poverty rate also fell from 44% to 29%. 
 That's good news. That means the standard of living goes up, I guess. Tell me more? 
 They are also working on environment and sustainability. With a grant of approximately 2.3 million euros, the Ethiopian government recently began training people on reducing erosing and using proper irrigation techniques that do not contribute to deforestation. 
 Seems like they are moving up in the world. Anything else I should know? 
 A little about its culture, they love football (soccer). They have made history by qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. 
 Thank you for the information. 
 You are welcome.
