I would tend to say 'attain' self-sufficiency. The BBI Dictionary of English Word combinations lists 'attain' as a word commonly used with 'self-sufficiency'. (to attain self-sufficiency in...)
Another option is 'achieve', however, i'm not 100% sure it would suit your translation. I would go with 'attain'.
