Since agriculture accounts for the dominant role in terms of employment, foreign currency and source of staple food across developing countries, enhancing commercialization of smallholders’ agriculture is compelling policy choice among them. In this paper we examined the effect of rural infrastructure on smallholders’ crop input market participation with reference to Jimma zone. Censored Tobit approach was employed to model the relationships between degree of household market participation from input side and the provision of rural infrastructure. Distance to the nearest all-weather-road from the farm area was found important. Moreover, provision of rural credit services, communication services and rural market center have been significant contributors. Unfortunately, we estimated trivial coefficient for agricultural services in relation to rural commercialization. It seems surprising as various inadequacies in the provision of the services may be involved. The right approach for the future should consider efficiency as well as adequacy of the services being provided. It would be better to reach smallholders ’ with necessary hard and soft infrastructures towards realizing multidimensional growth and transformational targets . Besides, interventions intensifying rural access to information are vital.","PeriodicalId":137913,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131144709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technology-induced unemployment has spread all over the world because developments in digitalization and automation reduced the need for human in all business lines. Digital economy has also shown its effects as changes in the lifestyles. Therefore, it called new ecosocial system. However, beyond the new ecosocial system, humanity awaits a new system as post-digital ecosystem. Most probably this transition would occur in an agonizing way. In the post-digital ecosystem, production methods are changing radically, and thus, due to the recent advancements in artificial intelligence technology, machines increasingly take over the jobs of humans. The steady upward trend in unemployment has made economic inequality a chronic problem in the society. The pandemic has the role of a catalyst that accelerates the emergence of the destructive effects of digital economy and augments these effects. After the pandemic, the post-digital ecosystem will rise from the ruins of the collapsing capitalist system. The purpose of this article is to attract attention to the future economic problems within the context of the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":137913,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Trade, Logistics and Law","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126523121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
