The US based organizations after a few honest Ethiopian intellectuals were the first to call BS on it and call attention to fact the Ethiopian government pushes fake growth estimates and overly exaggerated agricultural output

I think the Aid organizations like USDA have a vested interest in knowing the real food production capacities of the country since they were the ones supplying the country with food amidst of famine and food shortages.

But you are right, it's surprising nonetheless that an American mainstream news outlet like the Economist is covering this.
