  • Demography and Health
    SNNPR Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Demography and Health Aynalem Adugna, July 2014 www.EthioDemographyAndHealth.Org 2 SNNPR is one of the largest regions in Ethiopia, accounting for more than 10 percent of the country’s land area [1]. The mid-2008 population is estimated at nearly 16,000,000; almost a fifth of the country’s population. With less than one in tenth of its population (8.9%) living in urban areas in 2008 the region is overwhelmingly rural. "The region is divided into 13 administrative zones, 133 Woredas and 3512 Kebeles, and its capital is Awassa." [1] "The SNNPR is an extremely ethnically diverse region of Ethiopia, inhabited by more than 80 ethnic groups, of which over 45 (or 56 percent) are indigenous to the region (CSA 1996). These ethnic groups are distinguished by different languages, cultures, and socioeconomic organizations. Although none of the indigenous ethnic groups dominates the ethnic makeup of the national population, there is a considerable ethnic imbalance within the region. The largest ethnic groups in the SNNPR are the Sidama (17.6 percent), Wolayta (11.7 percent), Gurage (8.8 percent), Hadiya (8.4 percent), Selite (7.1 percent), Gamo (6.7 percent), Keffa (5.3 percent), Gedeo (4.4 percent), and Kembata (4.3 percent) …. While the Sidama are the largest ethnic group in the region, each ethnic group is numerically dominant in its respective administrative zone, and there are large minority ethnic groups in each zone. The languages spoken in the SNNPR can be classified into four linguistic families: Cushitic, Nilotic, Omotic, and Semitic.

Box 260, Mizan Aman, Ethiopia Abstract This study was analyzed value chain analysis of sesame in Bench Maji Zone of Southwestern, Ethiopia. It was specifically aimed to address the research gaps by, identifying the major value chain actors and mapping the value chain, and identifying major factors affecting market outlet choices of sesame producers in Meinit Goldya and Guraferda Districts. For addressing these objectives the study used both primary and secondary data obtained from field survey and desk review. Multistage random sampling technique was used to draw 270 sesame producers. Descriptive statistics and econometric method of data analysis were used to analyze the data. The major value chain actors for sesame marketing in the districts were producers, wholesalers, rural collector, cooperatives, broker/commission agents, retailers, local consumers, ECX, exporters and non-governmental organizations. The multivariate probit model results indicated that Years of experiences, Coop membership, household size, Education level, Land under sesame, Quantity supply, participating in training and distance to nearest market significantly influenced sesame producer’s choice of market outlet.

Received 14 October, 2015; Accepted 4 January, 2016 This study was conducted with the objectives of comparing range condition of an area under different land use practices (resettled and non-resettled) and assessing the possible effect of resettlement on range condition in Meinit-Shasha district of Bench-Maji zone, southwest Ethiopia. Two kebeles were selected purposively where vegetation and soil conditions were investigated in 40 quadrats across 20 sampling sites using 20 × 20 m (400 m2) quadrat, which was distributed along transects. The investigation included the assessment of grass composition, basal cover, litter cover; age distribution of dominant grasses, number of seedlings and soil conditions (erosion and compaction), which were investigated on 1 × 1 m (1 m2) area. Data from range vegetation survey was analyzed using SAS software. The study results showed significant differences (P < 0.05) between kebeles in terms of grass composition, basal cover, number of seedling and soil condition. The total score for range condition rating showed that the resettled kebele was in the category of poor range condition, whereas the non- resettled was in fair condition.

The country is characterized with immense potentials for growing the crop. This study was aimed to identify factors determining market supply of rice by smallholder farmers in Guraferda District, Southwest Ethiopia. Primary and secondary data were used for the study. The data were collected from 120 rice producer farmers selected through three stage sampling technique. Econometric model was used for the analysis of the data. Multiple linear regression model results indicated that land under rice, family size, lagged price of rice and number of oxen significantly affects quantity of rice supplied to the market. Quantity supply of rice could be enhanced through adequate supply of improved varieties, controlling of disease and pests, important to make youth participate in to rice production and marketing activities, developing market information system and encouraged farmers to have their own oxen.

Keywords:- The finding of this study shows that the impacts of forest resources to Livelihood, Rural household, Forest rural livelihood are diverse in terms of livelihood means. Forest income Resource. is the second largest source of livelihood diversification next to agriculture. In addition, rural households in the study area use trade, rent of asset, and other source of livelihood strategies. The relationship between socio-economic characters of the respondents with forest resources shows distance, sex, family size, education level and access to agricultural land are significant determinant of forest resource use. As far as natural forest resources have an important contribution in the rural livelihood means, issues on forest resource and rural livelihood should not be ignored in policy decisions and other interventions. Consequently, steps to efficiently use forest resources should be undertaken by different bodies as one of the ways of improving rural households livelihood means.

  • Economic Efficiency of Smallholder Farmers in Rice Production: the Case of Guraferda Woreda, Southern Nations Nationalities People’S Region, Ethiopia
    International Journal of Agriculture Innovations and Research Volume 8, Issue 2, ISSN (Online) 2319-1473 Manuscript Processing Details (dd/mm/yyyy): Received: 09/09/2019 | Accepted on: 03/10/2019 | Published: 19/10/2019 Economic Efficiency of Smallholder Farmers in Rice Production: The Case of Guraferda Woreda, Southern Nations Nationalities People’s Region, Ethiopia Tsegaye Melese 1*, Mebratu Alemu 2, Amsalu Mitiku 3 and Nesre Kedir 4 1 Department of Agricultural Economics, Mizan-Tepi University, Mizan-Tepi, Ethiopia. 2 Department of Economic, Arba-Minch University, Arba-Minch, Ethiopia. 3 Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness, Jmma University, Jimma, Ethiopia. 4 Department of Agricultural Economics, Mizan-Tepi University, Mizan-Tepi, Ethiopia. Abstract – Rice is one of the major staple cereal crops in Ethiopia. High productivity and efficacy in its production is vital to improve food security, reduce the level of poverty and to maintain agricultural growth. Thus, the aim of this study was to measure the level of economic efficiency and to identify factors affecting economic efficiency level in Guraferda woreda. Two-stage random sampling technique was used to select 148 household heads and interviewed using a structured questionnaire during 2017/18 production year. Cobb-Douglas production function was fitted using stochastic production frontier approach to estimate the efficiencies level, whereas Tobit model was used to identify determinants that affect efficiency levels of sample farmers. As a result, the mean technical and allocative efficiencies were 78.5 and 80.56%, respectively. While the mean economic efficiency was 63.18%. The average technical and allocative efficiencies implies that there exists a possibility to increase rice production by 21.5% without using extra inputs and decrease cost of inputs by 19.44%, respectively.
