Technical efficiency and impact of improved farm inputs adoption on the yield of haricot bean producer in Hadiya zone, SNNP region, Ethiopia

Determinants of market participation decision by smallholder haricot bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) farmers in Northwest Ethiopia

“…This indicates that the adoption of improved agricultural inputs, particularly improved seed, contributes to high production and productivity that can give farmers a room to supply their product to the market. This result is in line with that of Beyene et al (2020) who reported that the adoption of improved agricultural input has a positive impact on the production and productivity of haricot bean in the SNNP region of Ethiopia. Kebede (2020) also reported that low input usage and limited availability of seed and market problems were the causes of the low productivity of grain legumes in Ethiopia.…”

“…This indicates that using modern agricultural inputs like chemical fertilizers improves the yield of haricot bean so that farmers can decide to supply their surplus to the market. Beyene et al (2020) also reported that chemical fertilizer positively and significantly influenced haricot bean production. Farmers' perception of land degradation influenced the market participation decision of haricot bean farmers positively and significantly (p = 0.011; Table 2).…”

“…Kebede (2020) also reported that market problems are the main reasons for the low production and productivity of grain legume. Beyene et al (2020) also reported that the probability of the adoption of improved inputs is negatively influenced by market distance. Access to the product market has a significant influence on the efficiency and marketing of potato outputs as well (Andaregie & Astatkie, 2020).…”

“…Megerssa et al (2020) reported that age of household head, household family size, educational level of household head, labor market, market information, and distance from the marketplace were statistically significant factors influencing market participation among smallholder vegetable producers. Beyene et al (2020) reported that the allocated amount of land, labor, seed, chemical fertilizer, and oxen have a positive and significant influence, whereas market distance and crop diversification have a negative influence on the production of haricot bean. In Ethiopia, the productivity and production of grain legumes are below its potential, primarily due to low input usage, limited availability of seed, lack of extension services, and market problems (Kebede, 2020).…”

Evaluation of Newly Released Improved Haricot Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Varieties Under Smallholder Famers’ Condition in Metekel Zone, Northwestern Ethiopia

“…Low production and productivity is the main problem for Ethiopia due to low level of adoption of improved haricot bean technologies, poor agronomic and marketing systems (Amanuel and Girma, 2018). Haricot bean is considered as the main cash crop and protein source of farmers in many low lands and mid altitude zones of Ethiopia (Beyene et al, 2020).…”
