Anabe (Zigba forest in southern Wello) ../.. [20] "In southern Wello, there are still a few areas where indigenous trees survive in pockets of remaining forests. -- A highlight of our trip was a visit to Anabe, one of the few forests of Podocarpus, locally known as Zegba, remaining in southern Wello. -- Professor Bahru notes that Anabe was 'discovered' relatively recently, in 1978, when a forester was looking for a nursery site. In imperial days the area fell under the category of balabbat land before it was converted into a madbet of the Crown Prince. After its 'discovery' it was declared a protected forest. Anabe is some 30 kms to the west of the town of Gerba, which is on the Kombolcha-Bati road. Until recently the rough road from Gerba was completed only up to the market town of Adame, from which it took three hours' walk to the forest. A road built by local people -- with European Union funding now makes the forest accessible in a four-wheel drive vehicle. -

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. -

To conduct this research both Received: 02 April 2018 qualitative and quantitative information was collected from four Final Accepted: 04 May 2018 woredas in Bench Maji zone through questionnaire, interview and Published: June 2018 focus group discussion from 200 rural households. 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.
