This paper mainly focusses 011 a macro review of the general course of Ethiopian agricultural development since the land reform of 1975. The food production has lagged behind the population growth - 3 percent population growth against 1.8 percent food production between 1970 and 1983. Recently th...

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 ...
