摘要

大麦是埃塞俄比亚最重要的谷物作物之一,在谷物总产量中排名第五,仅次于玉米、小麦、柚子和高粱。根据用途,大麦分为两种:食用大麦和麦芽大麦。本研究调查了影响农民决定采用麦芽大麦技术的因素。研究在埃塞俄比亚中部高原八个主要的麦芽大麦种植区进行。数据从第一手资料和第二手资料来源收集。采用结构化问卷从 400 名抽样农民中获取定量数据。还进行了关键信息提供者访谈和焦点小组讨论,以三角测量和证实定量数据。二手数据也被用来补充原始数据。数据采用描述性统计和计量经济学模型进行分析。采用逻辑回归模型分析定量数据。研究结果表明,户主的教育水平、家庭规模、获得投入的机会、经验和获得需求品种的机会都对麦芽大麦技术的采用有积极而显著的影响。然而,户主的年龄、非农业活动收入和距离市场的远近对农民使用麦芽大麦技术的决策有显著的负面影响。截至 2021 年,农业部在全国范围内发布或登记生产的麦芽大麦品种约有 30 个,而被抽样调查的农户仅采用了 6 至 7 个品种。因此,我们得出结论,需要政府的大力支持和明确的政策导向,以鼓励农民和其他利益相关者加大投资力度,提高麦芽大麦种植区对改良品种的采用率。

Determinants of malt barley varietal adoption decisions of farmers: Evidence from the central highlands of Ethiopia

Determinants of malt barley varietal adoption decisions of farmers: Evidence from the central highlands of Ethiopia

Barley is one of Ethiopia's most important cereal crops, ranking fifth in total cereal production, after maize, wheat, teff, and sorghum. Based on its intended use, it is divided into two types: food barley and malt barley. This study investigated the factors that affect farmers' decisions to adopt malt barley technology. The research was conducted in eight major malt barley-growing districts in the central highlands of Ethiopia. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain quantitative data from 400 sample farmers. Key informant interviews and focus group discussions were conducted to triangulate and substantiate the quantitative data. Secondary data were also used to supplement the primary data. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and econometric models. A logistic regression model was employed to analyze quantitative data. The findings revealed that educational level of the household head, family size of the household, access to input, experience, and access to demanded variety all have a positive and significant impact on malt barley technology adoption. However, the age of the household head, income from off-farm activities, and distance to the market have a negative and significant impact on farmers' decisions to use malt barley technology. Up to 2021, about 30 malt barley varieties were released or registered by the Ministry of Agriculture for production nationwide, while only six to seven varieties were adopted by the sampled farmer households. As a result, we concluded that strong government support and clear policy direction are required to encourage farmers and other stakeholders to invest more to enhance adoption of improved varieties across malt barley growing areas.

期刊介绍: Food and Energy Security seeks to publish high quality and high impact original research on agricultural crop and forest productivity to improve food and energy security. It actively seeks submissions from emerging countries with expanding agricultural research communities. Papers from China, other parts of Asia, India and South America are particularly welcome. The Editorial Board, headed by Editor-in-Chief Professor Martin Parry, is determined to make FES the leading publication in its sector and will be aiming for a top-ranking impact factor. Primary research articles should report hypothesis driven investigations that provide new insights into mechanisms and processes that determine productivity and properties for exploitation. Review articles are welcome but they must be critical in approach and provide particularly novel and far reaching insights. Food and Energy Security offers authors a forum for the discussion of the most important advances in this field and promotes an integrative approach of scientific disciplines. Papers must contribute substantially to the advancement of knowledge. Examples of areas covered in Food and Energy Security include: • Agronomy • Biotechnological Approaches • Breeding & Genetics • Climate Change • Quality and Composition • Food Crops and Bioenergy Feedstocks • Developmental, Physiology and Biochemistry • Functional Genomics • Molecular Biology • Pest and Disease Management • Post Harvest Biology • Soil Science • Systems Biology
