  • The Extent of Finger Millet Production in South Omo Zone in the Case of South Ari Woreda
    Current Research in Agricultural Sciences, 2015, 2(1):1-7 Current Research in Agricultural Sciences ISSN(e): 2312-6418/ISSN(p): 2313-3716 journal homepage: http://www.pakinsight.com/?ic=journal&journal=68 THE EXTENT OF FINGER MILLET PRODUCTION IN SOUTH OMO ZONE IN THE CASE OF SOUTH ARI WOREDA Wedajo Gebre1 1 Jinka Agricultural Research Centre, Southern Agricultural Research Institute, Jinka, Ethiopia ABSTRACT In Ethiopia finger millet occupies 4% of the total area allocated to cereals (nearly half a million hectares) each year and also contributes about 4% to the total annual cereal grain production in the country. The production area increased from 342,120 ha to 368,999 ha with an increase of 7.3%, and the productivity increased from 3,769,290 to 5,241,911 quintals with a proportion of 28%. Six varieties (Tadesse, Padet, Wama, Baruda, Degu and Boneya) have been identified for cultivation to date. Though the varieties were initially released for cultivation in the sub-humid and mid altitude areas, their inadvertent introduction in to low rainfall areas found new adaptation zones. The production of these varieties has expanded to dry low altitude areas including regions where the crop was previously unknown. As a result of frequent drought, farmers in the dry rift valley region of Ethiopia widely adopted the variety that it is currently grown as one of the most important crops in this region. Therefore this study was initiated to discuss the production of finger millet in South Omo Zone, Ari woreda and generates information on the extent of finger millet production which is useful in designing suitable approaches for identifying gaps and intervening production constrains in the target area.The study areas comprised major finger millet producing kebeles of Ari woreda.

(EOC) in Dilla Town On 26 March 2019, the Government and humanitarian partners revitalized the Dilla Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to better coordinate the IDP response efforts in the area. The EOC will hold regular meetings twice a week, in which clusters/sectors will actively participate. The EOC was established for the first time in Gedeo zone in May 2018 when nearly a million persons were displaced due to inter-communal clashes between the Gedeos and Gujis. The coordination structure follows a cluster approach in which response is driven by joint planning and based on prioritized needs agreed by clusters. The re-launch of the EOC was attended by Ato Damene Darota, Deputy Commissioner of NDRMC, Ato Ganta Gena, Commissioner of SNNPR, some 17 humanitarian partners who have a footprint in FIGURES Gedeo and West Guji zones, and relevant sector ministries at federal, regional and zonal levels.

    Research Article Volume 11:1, 2020 Business and Economics Journal ISSN: 2151-6219 Open Access Market Chain Analysis of Sesame in Melekoza and Basketo Districts Endrias Oyka* Department of Agricultural, Southern Agricultural Research Institute, Arba Minch Center, Arba Minch, Ethiopia Abstract This study was aimed at marketing chain of sesames in Melekoza and Basketo special woreda of Southern Ethiopia. The data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data were collected from 184 farmers and 22 traders via statistical approaches. The study result identified producers, cooperatives, commission agents, assemblers /local and/or village collectors, wholesalers and exporters as the sesame market participants in the study areas and among these producers, wholesalers and exporters account more shares than others. The study also revealed that sesame market in study area was slightly oligopoly (medium concentration) where the top 4 traders were controlling 57.8% of the sesame market. The study result showed that sesame producers are faced with high diseases and pests, lack of improved varieties and declining sesame output price. Traders in study area were faced with Sesame trading in study area is characterized by different factors that hinder free entrees and include high capital requirement and volatile price. On marketing side, poor quality product, unlicensed intermediates, limited access to market, low price of product, lack of storage, and shortage of formal market places and very long distance of ECX are the major problems. The study also tried to identify challenges such as shortage of experts, low budget allocation and lack of training at supportive organization level. Therefore, this study tried to recommend the solutions based on study findings.

Three to five PA’s were selected from each woreda and the total number of PA’s included in the study was sixteen. The total number of sample population was sixty-eight. Data collection methods used for the survey include interview by using a semi-structured interview schedule, group discussions and personal observations. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS. The study showed that, the production system of the area to be too traditional and backward. Almost all of the respondents were found to use traditional bee hives, 97.87% of the respondents keep (hang) their beehives in forests, 6-10 km away from their home, 38.25% have never tried to apply any pests and predators control. Almost all of the respondents have never tried to control swarming. However, some respondents 17.68% were found to have swarm catching experiences.
