Abstract
This brief summarizes the key policy findings of a recent
article published by ICARDA scientists. Based on stated
preferences elicited from a sample of 360 randomly selected
farm householders, the study revealed that temporary
holding barns, toilets, veterinary clinic, watering troughs
and feed shops are the facilities small ruminant keepers are
most interested in central Ethiopia. In relative terms, the
farmers are willing to pay a premium of 1.77, 1.74, 1.23,
1.09, 2.0 and 2.27 times higher for holding barns than for
watering troughs, feed shops, veterinary clinics, toilets in the
markets, fenced market sheds and unfenced market sheds,
respectively. The study recommended due consideration
of preferences of the farming communities while designing
investments in livestock market facilities for the purpose of
increasing market participation and income from livestock.
