摘要

The study was conducted in four zones (Sidama, Gedeo, Gamo Goffa and Wolayta) of South Nation Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR) with the objective to assess coffee production constraints and opportunities at major coffee growing districts (Wereda) of the region. Two districts from each zone and two peasant associations from each district were selected for the study using multistage sampling technique. Total sample sizes of 161 households were interviewed to generate both qualitative and quantitative data. Data were analyzed by using SPSS software and descriptive statistics were implemented. The study indicated that about 98.1% of the respondents produce coffee as a major crop followed by maize (75.2%) and ?enset? (68.3%). Coffee was identified as a primary source of cash in all assessed areas except Gamo Goffa where banana ranked first among cash crops. The most important constraints identified in coffee production system were clustered in to two major categories as biotic and abiotic factors that can be considered as agronomic and environmental. Among the biotic factors diseases, insect pests, weed species and vertebrate animals were identified as the most important ones. Recurrent drought, frost, fluctuating rainfall pattern, high humidity, high temperature, low moisture, hail, storm, wind and reduced soil fertility were among abiotic factors affecting coffee production that could cause as much as 70% yield loss. Immense opportunities for the production, marketing and processing of coffee in the studied areas were also identified. The existence of all weather road, convenient topography, fertile land, relatively good climatic condition, water bodies for irrigation, convenient government policy and support from agricultural offices were some of the opportunities discovered. Thus, based on the information obtained, it is possible for farmers (producers) to improve coffee production and productivity by solving the constraints and using possible opportunities in the study areas and locations with similar agroecologies.

(68.3%)。除Grobo Goffa除了Banana在现金作物中排名第一的Gamo Goffa之外,咖啡被确定为所有评估区域的主要现金来源。在咖啡生产系统中确定的最重要的约束被聚集到两个主要类别中,作为可以被视为农艺和环境的生物和非生物因素。在生物因子疾病中,昆虫害虫,杂草种类和脊椎动物被鉴定为最重要的动物。经常性干旱,霜冻,波动图案,高湿度,高温,低水分,冰雹,风暴,风力和降低土壤肥力是影响咖啡生产的非生物因子,可能导致屈服损失多达70%。还确定了研究领域的生产,营销和加工的巨大机会。所有天气道路的存在,方便的地形,肥沃的土地,相对良好的气候条件,水体进行灌溉,方便的政府政策和农业办公室的支持都是发现的一些机会。因此,基于所获得的信息,农民(生产者)可以通过解决基于限制和使用类似农产病学的可能性的机会来提高咖啡生产和生产力。
