In this study, honey bee forages were assessed in three different agro-ecology districts, Jimma Zone, Southwest, Ethiopia. Random sampling techniques was used to collect the data, ninety beekeepers were interviewed using structured questioner. Key informants were interviewed with in all study areas. ANOVA of GLM and Regression were done using Minitab statistical software. Accordingly 42 honey bee’ forages; 28 trees, 6 shrubs and 8 herbs were mentioned by respondents which belong to 22 families, Fabaceae and Asteraceae were the first and second dominant family respectively. Natural forest trees, cultivated crops and fruits were identified as bee forage. Beekeepers experience and their knowledge on seasonal availability of bee forage and honey bee poisonous plants found in their locality were also assessed. In the study area traditional forest beekeeping system is practiced to produce honey. Different bee forages bear flower at different months and visited by honey bees for different number of days.

Dairy has been identified as a priority area for the Ethiopian government, which aims to increase Ethiopian milk production at an average annual growth rate of 15.5% during the GTP II period (2015-2020), from 5,304 million litters to 9,418 million litters. This study was carried out to assess determinants of dairy product market participation of the rural households in the case of Adaberga district in West Shewa zone of Oromia national regional state, Ethiopia. The study took a random sample of 120 dairy producer households by using multi-stage sampling procedure and employing a probability proportional to sample size sampling technique. For the individual producer, the decision to participate or not to participate in dairy production was formulated as binary choice probit model to identify factors that determine dairy product market participation.

  • Heading with Word in Woodblock
    Oromia Region, Area brief Regional Overview Oromia (sometimes spelled Oromiya, in the Oromo language) is one of the nine regions of Ethiopia. The 2007 census reported its population at over 28 million, making it the largest state in terms of both population and area. Oromia shares a boundary with every Region of Ethiopia except for the Tigray Region. With an estimated area of 353,006.81 square kilometers, this region has an estimated population density of 76.93 people per square kilometer. The region includes the former major Ethiopian provinces Arsi, Bale, Hararghe, Illubabor, Kaffa, Shewa, Sidamo, and Welega provinces. Its current capital is officially Addis Ababa (Oromo: Finfinne). Administratively, Adama serves as a center for the regional state. Other important cities and towns include Adama, Ambo, Asella, Bishoftu, Dembidolo, Fiche, Gimbi, Goba, Jimma, Metu, Negele Boran, Nekemte, Shashamane and Waliso. The Regional infant mortality rate is 76 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, similar to the nationwide average of 77; at least half of these deaths occurr in the infants’ first month of life. Low latrine coverage and little awareness of basic hygiene practices across many parts of the region are having a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of children and their families. In view of the above Save the Children in collaboration with the government and other key allies’ works to achieve MDG 4 and 5 by reducing maternal, newborn and child deaths. As part of our EVERYONE campaign we work to raise awareness in communities about safe delivery and child caring practices. We also work with relevant partners to improve the WASH services and practices at household and facility level.

  • The Role of Non-Farm Income During Variable Rainfall: the Case of Rural Farm Households in Ijere Woreda, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
    www.ijird.com February, 2019 Vol 8 Issue 2 ISSN 2278 – 0211 (Online) The Role of Non-Farm Income during Variable Rainfall: The Case of Rural Farm Households in Ijere Woreda, Oromia Region, Ethiopia Biruk Sisay Desulie Lecturer, Department of Rural Development and Agricultural Extension, Ambo University, Ethiopia Abstract: A growing body of empirical evidence shows that rainfall is highly variable throughout Ethiopia. This situation coupled with poor irrigation development, small agricultural land holding, and population pressure forced rural households to diversify their income sources into off-farm and non-farm activities. However, the contribution of these activities to total income of households and their role on reducing vulnerability of farmers to rainfall variability has not been studied. This study, using cross sectional data from Ijere woreda, Oromia regions and employing both descriptive and econometric analysis, attempted to explain the various off-farm & nonfarm activities, measured their contribution to total household income, and analyzed the role of such incomes on households’ vulnerability to rainfall variability. As such, the study found that rural households who participated in off-farm and non-farm activities were able to earn 9.7% and 7% of their total income, respectively. Results also indicated that off-farm and nonfarm activities helped participant households to smooth their income over years enabling them to be less exposed to income fluctuation and rainfall variability than nonparticipants. Thus, income diversification is found a significant livelihood strategy to hedge against weather risks – rainfall variability. Yet, Off-farm activities are found to be more of labor intensive and used for day-to-day consumption.
