The study was focused on the determinants of the rural households’ participation in microfinance services in the study area. The study was conducted in Cheliya District, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. A total of 188 sample households were selected through stratified and simple random sampling techniques and interviewed using a structured questionnaire to elicit data pertaining to participation in microfinance services during the year 2017. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression model. Logistic regression model was used to analyze determinants of the rural households’ use of service in microfinance services. Accordingly, the outcome of the logistic model regression indicated that household heads’ sex, education level, cultivated land size, livestock holding and frequency of extension contact positively and significantly affected the rural household’s decision to involve in microfinance services; while dependency ratio affected their decision negatively and significantly. It is recommended that the microfinance institutions and other concerning bodies have to arrange the way in which households with high dependency ratio and illiterate can participate in microfinance services. Moreover, attention should be given by microfinance institution staffs and other government bodies to increase female involvement in microfinance services in the study area. \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Microfinance, household, participation, Cheliya, Ethiopia.","PeriodicalId":90891,"journal":{"name":"Journal of development and agricultural economics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5897/JDAE2018.1008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43729442","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}

The study took a sample of 100 producers, 70 traders and 40 end consumers randomly. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed through marginal and econometrics analysis. In South Achefer district, producers, wholesalers, retailers and processors earn 11.44, 7.54, 16.85 and 64.17% share of profit margin, respectively. Whereas in Jabi Tehinan district, the percent shares of profit margin for producer, collector, retailers and processors was 26.35, 25.52, 19.13 and 29.01%, respectively. In Jabi Tehinan, regression analyses revealed that distance to nearest market centre (5%), owned ox number (10%), experience (5%), access to credit (10%), total amount of potato produced (1%) and market information (5%) were significant. In South Achefer district, total amount of potato produced and market information were found to be factors affecting supply of potato to the market at 1% probability level. Therefore, governmental and non-governmental organizations should take part in fulfilling the gap of different market chain actors through their intervention especially in term of market information. \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Determinants, district, market chain, marketing channels, potato.","PeriodicalId":90891,"journal":{"name":"Journal of development and agricultural economics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5897/JDAE2018.0988","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44339652","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}

In Ethiopia little attention has been given to livelihood diversification and the numerous factors that determine the abilities of rural household‘s choice of different livelihood activities. Thus, the objective of this study is to generate location specific data regarding the livelihood diversification and its role in attaining household‘s food security. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 191 sample households, by undertaking structured questionnaire to obtain data pertaining to livelihood diversification and its implication to food security during the year of 2016. Additionally, key informant interview, focus group discussion and observation were the principal methods used to generate data. Descriptive statistics and ordered logit regression model were used to analyze quantitative data. The result of ordered logit model showed that education level of household-head, land size of household, annual income of household head, membership of households in the organization, credit utilization, and access of extension services were significant in determining the livelihood diversification of households in the study area. On the other hand, while age and family size of households were found to be negatively correlated (P<0.5) and related to household level of livelihood diversification. Moreover, the findings of this study gave insight into factors affecting livelihood diversification and its importance to food security. Therefore, government should promote livelihood diversification in order to promote food security in the area. \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Education level, household size, livelihood diversification, ordered logit model, rural households.","PeriodicalId":90891,"journal":{"name":"Journal of development and agricultural economics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5897/JDAE2018.0926","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42525932","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}

Primary data were obtained from 180 cassava farmers by multistage random sampling with the aid of well-structured questionnaire and interview schedule. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Foster-Greer Thorbecke index and Tobit regression model. The results of descriptive statistics revealed that 85.6% of cassava farmers were male with majority (50.0%) between 31 and 50 years of age who were married (85.0%) with relatively large household members. The results also showed that 73.3% of them acquired farmland by inheritance and had formal education. The results of FGT analysis showed that poverty incidence was 28.9%, poverty depth was 5.3% and poverty severity was 1.5%. Meanwhile, Tobit regression model results revealed that household size, farming experience and revenue generated from cassava farms were factors affecting the poverty profile of the farming households. The study therefore recommends that farmers in the study area could reduce their poverty depth by controlling the number of child births, increase revenue generated from cassava farm and frequent. \u0000 \u0000 Key words: Cassava, households, poverty, Foster-Greer-Thorbecke index, Tobit regression model.","PeriodicalId":90891,"journal":{"name":"Journal of development and agricultural economics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5897/JDAE2017.0867","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71145135","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}
