dc.description.abstract | This study estimated the economic value of agricultural climate services for strengthening the
resilience of smallholder farmers to climate variability and risks in Ethiopia. Using a choice
experiment approach, the study introduced a hypothetical package of improved climate
services to 600 randomly selected smallholder farmers in three districts across three different
agro-ecological zones in the Oromia Regional State. A generalized multinomial logit (G
MNL) model was used to estimate preferred attributes of climate services and willingness-to
pay (WTP) values. The results show that the preferred bundle of improved climate services
among smallholder farmers was one that could be communicated in short text message
system, provided along with credit facility, and market information and one that favors
participatory decision making by smallholders. The results further reveal that the WTP value
exhibited high implicit price for participatory decision-making. The study sheds light on
important characteristics of agricultural climate services that may improve their acceptability
and usability among smallholders. It also highlights the importance of packaging additional
services including digital and ICT-based solutions, financial and market information along
with climate services to promote demand-driven last mile delivery systems. Engaging
smallholder farmers in a participatory manner in the decision-making process can help them
make informed decision. | en_US |
