Varietal output and adoption in barley, chickpea, faba bean, field pea, and lentil in Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Sudan
This chapter focuses on the improvements in the production of barley, chickpea, faba bean, field pea and lentil in Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan. Information on cultivar output and adoption of these crops is also presented.
Trends in Global and National Grain Legume Production and Trade: Implications on Local Chickpea and Lentil production Dynamics: The Case of Gimbichu and Minjar-Shenkora Districts of Ethiopia
The purpose of this study was to examine the major drivers of change shaping the current lentil and chickpea production dynamics and identify and prioritize researchable areas for further in-depth study in the future.

Can improved food legume varieties increase technical efficiency in crop production?
Faba bean (broad bean), field pea, and lentil are very important legumes in the highlands of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the largest producer of faba bean in SSA. In 2012/13, about 4.4 million small holder farmers planted 574,000 ...
Gender Perspectives on the Dynamics of Lentil and Chickpea Production: the Case of Gimbichu and Minjar-Shenkora Districts, Ethiopia
Ethiopia has different agro-ecologies conducive for producing different crops. The country is the home of different pulse grain production and it was increased between 2000-2012 (Vincent and Jason 2013). Twelve pulse types ...
The Impact of International and National Investment in Barley Germplasm Improvement in the Developing Countries
Barley grain is used for animal feed, malt and food for human consumption. Archaeological evidence shows that barley was used in human food several thousand years ago (Bhatty, 1992). Although replaced by wheat and rice in ...
Modeling Farmers’ Adoption Decisions of Multiple Crop Technologies: The Case of Barley and Potatoes in Ethiopia
This paper argues and provides empirical evidence that adoption decisions on multiple technologies involve a series of three sequential sub-decisions. Using a multivariate tobit and multivariate probit models and a nationally ...
Impact of improved legume varieties on technical efficiency of crop production in Ethiopia: Application of doubly-robust treatment effects model
This paper presents the impact of improved food legume varieties on technical efficiency and productivity of crop production in a farming system where mono-cropping of cereals is the norm. Data on 600 randomly selected ...
A Multivariate Analysis of Factors Affecting Adoption of Improved Varieties of Multiple Crops: A Case Study from Ethiopian Highlands
This paper analyzes the synergies/tradeoffs involved in the adoption of improved varieties of
multiple crops in the mixed crop-livestock production systems of the highlands of Ethiopia A
multivariate probit (MVP) model ...
Economic impact of broomrape (Orobanche crenata) on pulse crop production in north Eastern Ethiopia. International conference on pulses, Marrakesh, Morocco, April 18-20, 2016. Abstract 166.
Broomrape (Orobanche crenata) is a parasitic weed that has become a nuisance to pulse crop production
in many parts of Ethiopia. Despite the challenges posed by the weed, there has not been any study on its
economic impact ...
Tracking Adoption and Diffusion of Improved Chickpea Varieties at District, Zonal, Regional and National Levels in Ethiopia: Comparison of Various Approaches
Using several complementary data collection approaches including desk reviews, expert panel interviews, community and household sample survey, this study provides national, regional and zonal level estimates of adoption ...
