Conversely, substantial volume of the water demand, The fertile arable land in rural, sub-town, town, sub-cities, and cities of Ethiopia is grabbed by different government authorities and individuals for construction of the house, school, road, etc. Background The livelihood of rural households in Ethiopia, like in most developing countries, largely depends on land resource. The farmland obtained in such a way is very limited to the individual capacity to work and difficult even to plow by oxen-power than tractor. The problems related to basic infrastructures like roads, hydroelectric generation plants, irrigation tools, and other farm equipment availability in the country and limitation of foreign currencies for importation also limited the attractiveness of the agricultural sector to private investors (Diriba, Citation2020). The majority of the Ethiopians are farmers but they have not yet secured food at large. WebAgriculture in Ethiopia has come a long way. Therefore, farm size affects agricultural sustainability in the economy, social aspects, and environmental performance of agricultural production, for instance, increasing farm size has a positive impact on farmers net profit, economic benefits, technical and labor efficiency with mean coefficients of 0.005, 0.02, and 2.25 in China, respectively (Ren et al., Citation2019). Ethiopian water resources are unevenly distributed. Ethiopias agriculture exports 60 percent of total exports in 2019have also been dealt a major blow as demand slows in major European and North American This research investigated the effects of SWC Close to 15 million rural farm families are directly depending on The technological input like synthetic chemical fertilizers has also increased the acidity of soil from time to time in high rainfall areas. These still indicated very little transformation in the utilization of technologies in production. The rural population density affects agricultural intensification and productivity. But its adaptation varies across countries and intercontinental level, for example, it is adopted highly in the cropland of Australia, Canada, and the southern cone of South America (above 50%) and low in Africa, Central Asia, and China (FAO, Citation2011a). The annual rate of soil loss is higher than the annual rate of soil formation.

This particular sector determines the growth of all other sectors and consequently the whole national economy. Governments are expected to enact socio-economic plans, such as reducing rural fertility rates (Prtner et al., Citation2012), and developing secondary cities and towns. The countryhas a huge labor force and water resources. The food demand and price are increased in the recent decade than ever in Ethiopia. The farmers continued to utilize their ancient system of production despite changing ecological and population pressures. erosion is one of the several major deteriorative processes which results in soil degradation and declining agricultural productivity in Ethiopia. In addition, the countrys agriculture highly depends on rain-fed. Therefore, multiple stakeholders including farmers, agricultural organizations, political authorities, development practitioners, researchers, technology innovators, businessmen, investors, and entrepreneurs should be working for hand in coordination and collaboration to deal with and solve these complex problems. It increased by around 70% based on the current estimation backgrounds. In 20182020years alone the locust caused high-yield losses in the rift valley, eastern, north-central, and northern parts of Ethiopia.

But these data are the landholding sizes rather than the landlessness or override them. A higher rise in temperature noted in drier areas of the northeast and southeast part of Ethiopia (Abebe & Arega, Citation2020). Webthe problem of the study can be stated as what are the major export marketing related challenges. In the coming decades, ensuring food security is one of the greatest challenges in Ethiopia. Most Ethiopians practice mixed agricultural activity which represents about 33.88% of the country`s GDP. Therefore, this paper is devoted to reviewing the existing agricultural challenges and future prospects in the country. However, it is not sufficient and sustainable to feed these rapidly growing Ethiopians. (Citation2020) also reported that rainfall and temperature variability has critical implications for rural livelihoods in general and food security in particular. The rapidly growing population is a source of labor to exploit the existing resources for agricultural-sector investors. Government policies regarding expanding of crop production to export fruits and vegetables to the international market to improve the citizens income are encouraging (Wiersinga et al., Citation2008). Table 10. Traditional farming systems and low production and productivity well express the current Ethiopian agriculture. WebEthiopia Agriculture Market Analysis The market for agriculture in Ethiopia is projected to register a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. Ethiopias population is growing into the 21st century with their generationally acquired wisdom and skills. Trop Drylands 2: 18-27. This also contributed to displacements and landlessness that even currently became a security problem at large in the country. They may forceto cut down the tree to make charcoal. Ethiopia is known as the water tower of East Africa. The mean minimum and maximum annual temperature change varied from less than 15C (in the highlands) to above 25C (in the lowlands) of Ethiopia (Kew et al., Citation2017; Regassa et al., Citation2010). It is the water towers of East Africa that can be used for irrigation agriculture and more importantly hydroelectric power for East African countries in an attempt to address the problem related to global warming. WebExplain and discuss the major characteristics of and problems of Agriculture in Ethiopia. But the efforts were fails because of some factors like need of incentives, technology that needs too much labor, reduction of farm size and lack of awareness. In many places, small-scale and subsistence farming continues to be replaced by chemical-intensive industrial agriculture. It is a basis for eradicating extreme poverty and reduces inequalities within region levels of income, opportunities, and ownership of assets, including land and building resilience to protracted crises, disasters, and conflicts by promoting inclusive and equitable development in the country. Underlying causes of land degradation may include among others; migration, farmland shortages, and poverty which forces people to go into unsustainable land practices (Nkonya et al., Citation2011). Around 98 percent of cereals are produced by small landholder farmers. This score indicates improvement, however, the score is still considered to be serious. An attempt to address the problem of food shortage in moderation of prices and enhancing distribution across a globe in addition to supporting the agricultural productivity through improved technology is becoming part of the solution. Weband barley) are the core of Ethiopias agriculture and food economy, accounting for about three-quarters of total area cultivated and 29 percent of agricultural GDP in 2005/06 (14 Making The main causes are household food insecurity include recurrent drought, population pressure, small farmland Its rate has increased with increasing of Ethiopians, overgrazes, deforestations, utilizes of dung, and crop residues for fuel and other uses. Chronic and transitory household food insecurity remains among the major problems facing both rural and urban community in Ethiopia.. Agriculture is the backbone of the Ethiopian economy. Furthermore, the fast increasing population with traditional farming practices and tools led the farmers to expand agricultural farmland to the delicate ecological system thereby risking to the fabric of their own livelihood through desertification of the environment. Summary of the spatial variability of surface water in Ethiopia. Small-scale producers and landless households are the most vulnerable to climate change in Ethiopia. This will demand an additional billion tons of cereal grains and 200 million tons of meat to be produced annually (FAO, Citation2017). ), grain moths (Sitotroga cerealella), and bean bruchids (Acanthoscelides obtectus, Bruchus pisorum, and Zabrotes subfasciatus)], aphids, thrips, two-spotted spider mites (Tetranchus urticae), white mango scale insects (Aulacaspis tubercularis), etc. Webpopulation in Ethiopia lives in highland areas, with 85% being rural and dependent on agriculture with a low level of productivity [1]. Furthermore, feeding the population in the near future in developing countries like Ethiopia is expected to increase production and productivity. MoANR (Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources). The increased population and landlessness of the subsequent farming generations led to unwise use of natural resources in general and forest in particular. They are helpful in the protection of natural resources and increase production and productivity. It is a serious problem of rural livelihood (Belay et al., Citation2017). The rapid population growth and the higher proportion of the youth are the current challenges facing Ethiopia as these younger generations are landless.

IUCN (international union for conservation of nature). The persistent decline in the size of farmland also represents formidable challenges for mechanized farming and obtaining long-term capital investment (Diriba, Citation2020). Statistical development series no.12, 2000 world census of agriculture, FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). Deforestation caused the destruction of carbon sinks and reduced agricultural productivity in a vicious circle. If this has come to the fact, the proportion of energetic productive man is decreased and negatively impacts on world production and productivity due to their retirement. Increasing food demands through intensive competition on the available natural resources are the root causes of increasing greenhouse gas emissions, massive deforestation, losses of flora and fauna species, and land degradation (FAO, Citation2016), soil nutrient depletion, water scarcities particularly freshwater, violations or conflicts of interest, shortage of food availability, disrupt access to food and health care and undermining of social protection systems are pushing many affected people back into poverty. ELPAA (Ethiopia Land Policy and Administration Assessment). This made the farmers unable to withstand seasonal risks of crop failure or animal deaths that even worsen the problem and force them to live in continuous poverty and are hopeless. In contrast to this finding, Knippenberg et al. This report indicated that India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Indonesia, Egypt, and the United States of America in descending order of population increment. The Ethiopian economy has grown at a rapid pace over past decade until 1029, but in addition to foreign exchange scarcities, the economy remains vulnerable to periodic droughts and commodity price volatility that impacts the demand and price of Ethiopias primary export commodities. In the coming decades, ensuring food security for the Ethiopians will face great challenges. Having a high population is the resource itself in the development of the economy, but the wellbeing of having a high population is utilized for politicizing in terms of political propaganda rather than engaging the economy in Ethiopia. Crop and animal diseases such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes; insect pests, rodents, and birds are common problems in Ethiopia. The main purpose of this research was to determine the factors Therefore, it requires taking critical actions to solve it. UNCCD (United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification). In Ethiopia, natural resources are under the influence of various interconnected factors like population pressure, agricultural expansion, migration, rapid Supply-demand prospects and development problems for Ethiopian agriculture. Lack of sustained and intergenerational commitments to transform the legal or constitutional system for millennia made the country liable. In addition, it is required that establishing a policy of investment that supports producing hybrid cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry. This report also indicated that around 2027, India will be ranked first in the world by the population followed by China. Working and investing toward changing the behavior, attitudes, and beliefs of Ethiopians have become important in the future to boost agricultural production and productivity. These farmers, whose output is predominantly cereal crops, account for 95.0% of the agricultural production in Ethiopia. Agriculture is the foundation of Ethiopia's economy. Around 80.0-85.0% of Ethiopians are engaged in agriculture, mainly in subsistence and rain-fed farming and livestock production. The same could be a blessing provided that natural resources could be utilized as it is needed by the labor force. It is also complicated by unequal distribution among the householders. Benin (Citation2006) finds out that land degradation constraints caused a lowering of the likelihood of using reduced tillage and the value of crop yield per hectare. Annual minimum temperature variability by AEZs (19792013). The country misused these gifted natural resources in agricultural activities possibly mainly due to the political unrest characterized by the frequent war that weakened the economy rather than focused on development. Land constraints and agricultural intensification in Ethiopia: A village-level analysis of high-potential areas. Twenty-four (24) % of the degraded areas are found in Africa, SouthEast Asia, and South China, Northcentral Australia, Pampas, Swaths of the Siberian and Northern American taiga; 1.5 billion people live in these areas (Bai et al., Citation2008). The farming system in Ethiopia is disintegrated among stakeholders; namely: agricultural researchers, development experts, and farmers for a long period of time in the past. Put in perspective, Ethiopias key agricultural sector has grown at an annual rate of about 10% over the past decade; much faster than population growth. The disintegrated practices cost more budget and even may not meet their purpose due to mismanagement along the multiple channels. The coping mechanism so far is sharecropping. The two dominant agricultural systems in Ethiopia are the mixed agriculture of the highlands, where both crops and livestock production are integrated, and pastoralism in the lowlands. It is also difficult to implement mechanize farms, inefficient to work on it to secure the families demand because the small farm size cultivated is yielded lower. The allocation and utilization of resources through the channels mainly face corruptions that ultimately resulted in food insecurity through jeopardizing crop and livestock production and fisheries. These strategies are required to be adopted by smallholder farmers. Agricultural Production System in Ethiopia Agricultural production is dominated by smallholder households which produce more than 90% of agricultural output and To make a sustainable intensification of crop and animal production, conserving water resources, adoption of ecosystem-based approaches, such as conservation agriculture, applying environmentally safe agricultural inputs, keeping soil healthy, and use of improved genetic material and nutrient management are required to boost Ethiopian agriculture. In Ethiopia, the scarcity of arable farmland and landlessness increased than ever in general and very high in the highland areas in particular (Diriba, Citation2020). Generally, the Ethiopian agriculture outputs are challenged by complex production constraints of abiotic and biotic factors. The lowlands are vulnerable to increased temperatures and prolonged droughts, while the highlands suffered from more intense and irregular rainfall. Globally, the total degraded land area was estimated from a range of fewer than one billion hectares to over six billion hectares with the variation of its spatial distribution (Gibbs & Salmon, Citation2015) (Figures 2 and 3). Worldwide, it expenses more than 18-20 USD trillion USD annually (UNCCD (United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification), Citation2019). Agricultural Problems In Ethiopia Hardcover November 10, 1987 by Harjinder Singh (Author) See all formats and editions Hardcover $10.00 7 Used from $8.54 13 New from $6.43 It also declines the levels of arable land availability (Campbell, Citation2011; Pender et al., Citation2006). Despite numerous challenges of agricultural activities, Ethiopia has marvelous opportunities like a commercial farming investment on fruit, vegetable, ornamental plants, and beef; the huge number of the labor force, water resources, and proximity to the Middle East and other African countries to ship products within a short period of time. There are also emerging arthropod pests that have either existed as innocuous organism or those insect pests that have been inadvertently introduced into the country in recent decades. It is proximity to Middle East markets is valuable to transport fresh products within a short period of time to the needed destination. This report also argued that the farmers are barely able to feed their families and contributed to further environmental deterioration. Risk and resilience in a new era. It has been discovered from the Ethiopian national survey that the relationships between yield, farm size, and land fragmentation have an inverse relationship that is, a positive association between yield and land fragmentation (Paul & Gthnji, Citation2018). What are the problems with agriculture in Ethiopia? Such food price inflation creates political instability, disorder, chaos, unemployment, malnutrition, hunger, poverty, imbalance, and inefficient resource distributions among the nations and further intensifies the international security problems in the horn of Africa (Cohen & Garrett, Citation2009; Chakraborty & Garrett, Citation2002). Variations and fluctuations in rainfall and temperature compromise, among others, the productive performances of the agricultural sector and make rural households at risk. The amount of river-based water in Ethiopia could be 124.4 billion cubic meters (Berhanu et al., Citation2014). USDA (United States Department of Agriculture). A study has also been conducted by Tho (2006) in Peri-Urban Area of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It accounts for nearly 80% of the land under cultivation and employs 60% of the rural workforce, most of which work on less than one hectare of land. Based on this background, the state farmland provision for the farmer is more than 3045years and on average the current landowner is above 4850years of age at a minimum level. ATA (Agricultural Transformation Agency). The vast majorities of smallholder farmers of Ethiopia living in perpetually substandard conditions, relying on traditional systems, undercapitalized; farm on fragmented land, depleted soil fertility with high competition of pests, and low investment in agricultural inputs (chemical fertilizer, improved seeds, and pesticides) (ATA, Citation2014). WebREPORT ON THE ETHIOPIAN ECONOMY iv continues to witness. 2 (1971), p. 46. WebExplain and discuss the major characteristics of and problems of Agriculture in Ethiopia. Name of group members (Section: R1) ID No. The mono-cropping system of some crops in the central highland of Ethiopia also led to nutrient depletion (Merga & Ahmed, Citation2019). Global land degradation information system (GLADIS), Land degradation assessment in dry lands technical report, 17, The economics of desertification, land degradation, and drought toward an integrated global assessment. Arthropod pests such as locust (Schistocerca gregaria), fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), African armyworm (Spodoptera exempta), stalk borer (Busseola fusca, Chilo partellus and Sesamia calamistis), cutworm, fruit flies (Ceratitis cosyra, C. fasciventris, C. rosa, C. anonae, and C. capitata, Bactrocera dorsalis, B. invadens), termites (Macrotermes, Odontotermes, Microtermites, etc), weevils [(Sitophilus spp. Figure 1.
