Boosting Maize Production for Economic Growth in Ethiopia: Key Factors Revealed
Agricultural commercialization in Ethiopia is important for economic growth. A study focused on maize farmers in North Western Ethiopia found that factors like education, livestock ownership, training, and off-farm income affect farmers' participation in markets. The study also showed that these factors, along with maize quantity and price, influence how much farmers commercialize their maize production. To increase market participation and commercialization, farmers should receive regular support and training from extension agents.
