Abstract

The study was conducted in SNNPR; Hadiya Zone in Gombora Woreda to assess the status of smallholder farming household’s food security, and its determinants including the role of market accessibility factors in increasing food security at smallholder farm households level. The data used for the study were obtained from 364 randomly selected sample households in the study area. The data for the study was collected from both primary and secondary sources. For the primary data collection, questionnaires was designed and pre-tested based on the objective of the study in the study area. The questionnaires schedule was tested at the farm level on 10 randomly selected farm households. The study was employed both descriptive and econometric data analysis methods. Binary logistic regression model was employed to analyze the market accessibility factors in enhancing food security at smallholder farm household’s level. Results of econometric model showed that the age of household, education level, use of credit, monthly income, and distance to road, distance to market, extension services and crop diseases were significantly determining rural smallholder farm household’s food security. The results suggest that local food security can be enhanced by creating off-farm employment opportunities, improved transportation facilities and road infrastructure. So, government should exhaustively work on promoting irrigation, providing credit, enhancing extension service and subsidize the farmers in the area of agricultural sector to solve the problem of food insecurity and should give due emphasis to female headed households to empower economically.

粮食安全的决定因素及其市场准入在加强埃塞俄比亚农村粮食安全中的作用——以埃塞俄比亚Hadiya地区Gombora Woreda农村小农家庭为例
这项研究是在SNNPR进行的;评估小农家庭粮食安全状况及其决定因素,包括市场可及性因素在提高小农家庭粮食安全方面的作用。本研究使用的数据来自研究区域内随机抽取的364个样本家庭。该研究的数据收集自主要和次要来源。在收集原始数据时,根据研究区域的研究目的设计问卷并进行预测。问卷表在农户层面随机选取10户农户进行检验。本研究采用描述性和计量经济学两种数据分析方法。采用二元logistic回归模型分析了市场可达性对小农农户粮食安全的影响。计量经济模型结果表明,家庭年龄、受教育程度、信贷使用情况、月收入、道路距离、市场距离、推广服务和作物病害对农村小农家庭的粮食安全有显著影响。结果表明,可以通过创造非农就业机会、改善交通设施和道路基础设施来提高当地的粮食安全。因此,政府应在农业领域大力推广灌溉、提供信贷、加强推广服务和补贴农民,以解决粮食不安全问题,并应适当重视女性户主家庭的经济赋权。关键词:计量经济分析,粮食安全,二元logistic回归模型DOI: 10.7176/FSQM/100-05出版日期:2020年8月31日
