Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1700 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2855 (Online) DOI: 10.7176/JESD Vol.10, No.3, 2019 Analysis of Saving Patterns by Rural Households in Guduru Districts of Oromia National Regional State, Ethiopia Agassa Gadassa 1 Adem Kedir 2* 1.Department of Statistics, College of Natural and computational Science, Ambo University P.O. Box 19, Ambo, Ethiopia 2.Department of Agro economics , College of Business and Economics, Arsi University, P.O. Box 193, Arsi Ethiopia Abstract Background : Saving level in Ethiopia is very low and little is known empirically about its patterns and determinants. Therefore, this study is aimed at analysis of saving pattern of rural households in Guduru districts. Methods : Primary data were collected from the two districts.196 respondents from Guduru districts using multistage sampling techniques. Results : The study showed that 35.20, 34.69 and 30.10 % of Guduru sample household saves in kind, in cash and both in kind and in cash respectively. Multinomial regression model revealed that social and religious expenditures, distance to market, and distance to financial institutions had negative and significant effect on cash saving of household while dependency ratio had negative and significant effect on both in kind and in cash saving also information access and age of household head had positive effect. Conclusion : The pattern of the nature of saving is an important factor in determining whether the saved amount is utilized for productive purpose or not. This study indicated that rural households’ areas mainly use physical forms of saving. However, this saving in physical form in study areas was not assessed by formal financial system of the country. -

Box 38, Ethiopia 2Wollega University, Department of Agricultural Economics, P.O. Box 38, Ethiopia Credit repayment is one of the dominant importance for viable financial institutions. This study was aimed to identify determinants of loan repayment capacity of smallholder farmers in Horro and Abay-Chomen Woredas. The study used primary data from a sample of formal credit borrower farmers in the two woredas through structured questionnaire. A total of 120 farm households were interviewed during data collection and secondary data were collected from different organizations. The logit model results indicated that a total of fourteen explanatory variables were included in the model of which six variables were found to be significant.; among these variables, family size and expenditure in social ceremonies negatively while, credit experience, livestock, extension contact and income from off-farm activities positively influenced the loan repayment performance of smallholder farmers in the study areas. Based on the result, the study recommended that the lending institution should give attention on loan supervision and management while the borrowers should give attention on generating alternative source of income to pay the loans which is vital as it provides information that would enable to undertake effective measures with the aim of improving loan repayment in the study area. -

Box, 395, Nekempt, Ethiopia 2Gardega-Jarte, Agricultural Office, P.O. Box, Shambu, Ethiopia Abstract: The aim of the study was to estimate technical efficiency of smallholder farmers in maize production in case of Jardega Jarte districts with specific objectives to estimate the level of technical efficiency and to identify factors affecting technical efficiency in the study area. The study used cross-sectional data and the data were collected from sample representative respondents of 168 randomly selected farm households. Cobb-Douglas production function and the Stochastic Frontier Model were used to identify factors influencing productivity and efficiency. The hypotheses tests confirm that, the adequacy of Cobb-Douglas the appropriateness of using SFA the joint statistical significance of inefficiency effects; the appropriateness of using Half- normal and Exponential distribution for one sided error; and nature of the stochastic production function. The maximum likelihood parameter estimates showed that all input variables have positive and significant effect on production. The estimated Cob Douglas production function revealed that all inputs labor in hour, maize cultivated land, Dap, Urea, Seed, oxen have positive -

Preface In response to a request from the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a basic design study on the Project for Rural Water Supply in Oromia Region in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and entrusted the study to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA sent to Ethiopia a study team from February 26 to June 10, 2008. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Ethiopia, and conducted a field study at the study area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made. Then, a mission was sent to Ethiopia in order to discuss a draft basic design, and as this result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia for their close cooperation extended to the teams.
