It is often covered with prickles and it usually grows in desert and semi desert area of the world. Cactus has different benefit such as source of food, medicine, chemical and income. Therefore, the objective of this research was carried out to assess the economic benefit of cactus as potential source of food for both human and animal in Ganta Afeshum District, Eastern Tigray region of Ethiopia. For this study, questionnaires, structured interviews, field observations and documentary analysis were applied to collect the necessary information from farm households and concerned bodies.

Both quantitative and qualitative methods of data analysis were used to describe the findings. Tables, charts and percentage were used in summarizing the quantitative data. The survey result shows that in the study area out of the total area of the District, 1607.05 hectare of the land is covered by cactus crop. Even though the area is characterized by a potential on cactus crop but the farmers used cactus crop only as diet for human being and as forage for animals particularly for cattle.

  • Chapter Viii Farm Implements, Draught Animals and Storage Facilities
    CHAPTER VIII FARM IMPLEMENTS, DRAUGHT ANIMALS AND STORAGE FACILITIES 1. INTRODUCTION Agriculture is the single largest sector in the Ethiopian economy. The position of the agricultural sector for the past few decades does not only concern the peasants, but on account of the extent of its inputs, outputs and its function as a largest employer of labour has a profound impact on the entire economy. It is worth to point-out that Ethiopia has large resources in terms of land, agricultural labour, draught animals…etc. Despite all these facts, the average yield of the main food crops and livestock products attained by private peasant holders is very low and it is not adequate to feed the ever- growing population. Because of such prevailing conditions in the agricultural sector, the economy remained at subsistence level. Among the factors that hampered the country not to prosper is the use of primitive farm implements and tools by the peasants to operate their land and to raise livestock. The role of improved agricultural implements and tools in raising the standard of farming efficiency and increasing average yield of production has been recognized for many years. Land preparation requires modern power source that results in considerable farm efficiency and expansion of production. Seeding and fertilization are among the agricultural operations where animal and tractor drawn machines appear to be capable of greater efficiency than only hand method. Power-driven line sowing and fertilization are more efficient than hand spreading and this is usually expected to result in higher yield for the same amount of fertilizers and seeds.

  • Situation Report: Drought/Food Crisis in Ethiopia 29 August 2008
    United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs ST Situation Report: Drought/Food Crisis in Ethiopia 29th August 2008 Highlights: Government clears 9 additional NGOs to expand operations in the Somali Region UN Emergency Relief Coordinator, Sir John Holmes, will arrive in Ethiopia on the 1st September for a three day mission to Addis Ababa, SNNPR and Somali Region. 13 woredas report active cases of Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD). Humanitarian Overview 1 Website: http://ochaonline.un.org/ethiopia United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Current Context Ethiopia continues to face critical challenges related to deepening food insecurity. This crisis has been fuelled by both the drought and adverse market shocks triggered by increases in food and fuel prices. After the successive failure of seasonal rains beginning in December 2007 and extending through to mid May 2008, the food security situation deteriorated to alarming levels in pastoral and farming areas of parts of Afar, Amhara, Oromiya, SNNPR, Somali and Tigray. Moderate and acute malnutrition rates have increased. Government and humanitarian partners continue to respond to the humanitarian needs generated by the crisis, however, considerable shortages of supplies essential for the relief operation persist. The current drought and related food crisis has affected various regions of the country, among them Somali Region where the effects of the drought are acute. The successive failure of rains and the consequent diminishing pasture and water resources and some livestock deaths, coupled with high inflation resulting in a significant decline in the purchasing power of pastoralists render households extremely vulnerable to health and nutrition risks.
