Abstract:

This study is initiated to analyze coffee Supply chainin Yubdo District, Western Wollega ZoneOromia Regional state of Ethiopia. It focused on identifying determinants of volume coffee supply of Households; and factors affecting market outlet choice decisions of coffee producers. Data for the study are collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data are collected from randomly selectedcoffee producer household’s survey by using a pre-tested structured questionnaire. The data are collected from 132 farmers and 20 traders, and analyzed using STATA software. Coffee supply Chain actors identified in the study include input suppliers, producers, rural collectors, Primary cooperatives, wholesalers, processors and Exporters. Eight market channels were identified for coffee marketing in the study districts. Policy implications drawn from the study findings include: improving farmers’ knowledge and experience on coffee production, encouraging adult education through extension service, improving cooperative of coffee farmers and strengthening the linkage/interaction among Coffee Supply chain actors, expanding accessibility of market infrastructure. Further study needed on coffee supply chain analysis starting from producers to the Exporters would be a considerable issue to improve the whole coffee supply chain in the study area.
