Determinants of farmers’ utilization of improved agricultural technologies in Ethiopia
Abstract
Few studies assessed the determinants of improved agricultural technologies on farmers’ utilization of improved agricultural technologies. Hence, the objective of this study was to analyze rural farmers’ utilization of improved agricultural inputs in Ethiopia. Data were collected through household survey/interviews with 141 sample respondents using multi-stage sampling techniques. The result of the logistic model regression output shows that education status of the household head, sex, age, family size and access to credit is significantly associated with the utilization of improved agricultural technologies. Farmers’ utilization of improved agricultural technologies was determined by different demographic socio-economic, institutional and psychological factors. Finally, for further utilization of improved agricultural technology and development of the sector, the Ministry of Agriculture, policy makers and other stakeholders should participate in rural areas.
