Investigates the impact of draft power availability on grain production on smallholder farms in the Ethiopian highlands based on analysis of data collected by ILCA around Debre Berhan and Debre Zeit, especially on effects of ox holding on area cultivated and on net cereal production.

Farmer's use of fertilizer in the highland areas of Ethiopia remains small, despite significant yield increases obtained in experimental stations and on-farm trials. Among the suspected hindrances against the use of fertilizer at the rate recommended jointly by the MOA/IAR, are farmers' aversion ...
