Abstract:

 

The central rift valley of Ethiopia is known for its potential in production and marketing of common bean. However, there is inadequate information on determinants of productivity and profitability performance of smallholder common bean producers. Hence, this study was designed with the aim of investigating factors affecting productivity and profitability performance of small-holder common bean producers. The study involved cross sectional household survey of 172 common bean growing farmers in shalla and Boset districts. The econometric modelling shows that farm size, household size, experience, common bean type, group membership, credit utilization and non-farm income were affecting the productivity of small holder common bean producers. Whereas, Number of livestock (TLU), Farm size, experience, participation in collective marketing and common bean type were affecting the profitability performance of common bean producers in the study area. Thus, policy aimed at improving the productivity and profitability of smallholder farmers is essential.

 

Etiyopya'nın merkezi rift vadisi, yaygın fasulye üretimi ve pazarlamasındaki potansiyeli ile bilinir. Fakat küçük ölçekli fasulye üreticilerinin verimlilik ve karlılık performansının belirleyicileri hakkında yetersiz bilgi bulunmaktadır. Buradan yola çıkarak, bu çalışma küçük ölçekli fasulye üreticilerinin verimlilik ve karlılık performansını etkileyen faktörleri araştırmak amacıyla tasarlanmıştır. Çalışma, Shalla ve Boset bölgelerinde fasulye yetiştiren 172 çiftçinin yatay kesit hanehalkı anketini içeriyordu. Ekonometrik modelleme, çiftlik büyüklüğü, hanehalk büyüklüğü, deneyim, yaygın fasulye türü, grup üyeliği, kredi kullanımı ve tarım dışı gelirin küçük sahipli yaygın fasulye üreticilerinin üretkenliğini etkilediğini göstermektedir. Çiftlik hayvanı sayısı, çiftlik büyüklüğü, deneyim, toplu pazarlamaya katılım ve yaygın fasulye türü ise çalışma alanındaki yaygın fasulye üreticilerinin karlılık performansını etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle, küçük toprak sahibi çiftçilerin üretkenliğini ve karlılığını artırmayı amaçlayan politikaların önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
