The objective of this paper is to analyze the marketed surplus of wheat by smallholders farmers and to identify its underlying determinants. Two- stage sampling technique was used and a total of 123 smallholder farmers from five kebeles were randomly and proportionately sampled to collect both secondary and primary sources. The model results showed that six explanatory variables significantly affected the volume of wheat marketed by smallholder wheat producers. Family size, access to credit, off- farm income and livestock holding were negatively and significantly affecting supply.

  • (2020) Volume 14 (1) 1–12 the Use of Biofertilizer by Smallholder Farmers and Its Impact
    East African Journal of Sciences (2020) Volume 14 (1) 1–12 The Use of Biofertilizer by Smallholder Farmers and its Impact on Productivity of Pulse- Cereal Cropping System in Arsi Zone, Oromia Regional State, Southeastern Ethiopia Nigussie Alemayehu Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR), P.O. Box 2003, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Abstract: Commercial production and distribution of biofertilizer for increasing yields of pulse crops in Ethiopia started as recently as two decades ago after the agricultural research system began working on biofertilizer. Consequently, farmers have been inoculating seeds of pulse crops with rhizobium bacteria to get higher yields using rhizobium strains disseminated by the research system. Similarly, smallholder farmers in Lemu Bilbilo and Digelu Tijo districts (woredas) of Arsi Zone of the Oromia Regional State in southeastern Ethiopia have been inoculating faba bean and field pea seeds with rhizobium bacteria for increasing yields of the crops since 2010. However, there is no empirical evidence for agronomic and agroecological benefits that the farmers obtain from using the technology. Therefore, a methodical assessment was done to investigate the effects of biofertilizer (seed inoculation with rhizobium) on the productivity of faba bean and subsequently grown wheat and barley crops and the benefits that farmers obtain in terms of yield and sustainability of the farming system. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected from four kebeles in the two woredas through focus group discussions (FGD) and key informant interviews (KII) involving 150 farmers, agricultural experts, development agents, researchers, and community leaders. The results revealed that smallholder farmers who planted rhizobium-inoculated faba bean seed gained additional yield benefits of 79%, 66%, and 42% for faba bean, wheat, and barley, respectively, over farmers who planted uninoculated seeds.

  • The Pedagogical Roles of Arsi Oromo Proverbs in Socializing Children: Implications for Aligning Indigenous Knowledge with Modern Education
    The Ethiopian Journal of Education Vol. XXXVIII No. 2 December 2018 77 The Pedagogical Roles of Arsi Oromo Proverbs in Socializing Children: Implications for Aligning Indigenous Knowledge with Modern Education Dame Abera Received: 23 November 2017; Accepted: 28 December 2018 Abstract: The major purpose of the present study is to examine the pedagogic functions of Arsi Oromo proverbs in socializing children. In so doing, an ethnographic design was employed to guide the study. Data were collected from a sample of 37 discussants of four FGD sessions, where both the samples and the research site (Digeluna Tijo district of East Arsi Zone) were selected purposively. Moreover, the metaphoric analysis technique was employed to examine the philosophical and daily applications of Arsi Oromo proverbs related to child upbringing. The current study revealed several important findings. First, Arsi proverbs provide a rich context in preserving and transmitting the cultural norms, values and beliefs of Arsi society. Second, most of the Arsi Oromo proverbs told about children have pedagogic functions especially in socializing (disciplining, warning, training, shaping, advising, directing, and educating) children to have a better understanding of the cultural values, beliefs, norms and practices of the society. Third, some of the Arsi Oromo proverbs told about children do not reflect the existing situations and have negative repercussions on the developing child (e.g., indoctrinate sex-segregated roles; show preferences for baby boys to baby girls; promote harmful traditional practices like gender inequality; and limit child-parent interaction).The results of this study, generally, have implications for developing the school curriculum for elementary school children (teaching materials) that aligns modern education with the indigenous knowledge of the community and in designing manual for parental education.
