PROJECT TOPIC: DETERMINANTS OF FARMERS DECISION MAKING FOR PLANT EUCALYPTUS TREES IN MARKET DISTRICT, NORTH WILLOW, ETHIOPIA

Project Body:


  1. INTRODUCTIONTree plantations provide the benefits and purposes that are gathered from the natural forests (Ashraf et al., 2014).In the tropics over 10 million ha of eucalyptus plantations at the close of 1990 (FAO, 1993). Ethiopia has thegreatest area of eucalyptus plantations in the east Africa and it is one of the 10 pioneer countries that stuck in theeucalyptus. At the moment, Ethiopia has the largest area of eucalyptus plantations (more than 0.5 million ha)(Amare Getahun, 2010). Meket woreda is one of the rural woreda which is found in the Amhara state, Ethiopia.In the study area, in that location is a wonderful enlargement of the eucalyptus trees. But, the distribution ofeucalyptus trees in the study area is also uneven among the smallholder farmers (adopters and non-adopters) andtheir determination is likewise struck by the different agents. In general, farmers decision making in tree plantingare influenced by socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers, institutional and policy characteristics,biophysical factors, resource endowment and psychological factors.The wide range of theoretical paradigm of factors influencing householders’ planting of trees andadoption of agroforestry1 has been conducted. However, the analysis are not species specific and it is difficult toinfer results of tree planting or agroforestry adoption decisions for specific species like eucalyptus tree. Because,an agroforestry systems and different tree woodlots have their basic features and purpose. For instance,Agroforestry has multiple shared outputs and numerous economic characters and tree planting have differentpurpose like to enhance the productivity of other food crops, fruits for the family, Supply of fuel and other forestproduct. But, exotic species like Eucalyptus are not founded to enhance the productivity of food crops, ediblefruit to the household, or to supply fodder for livestock.Referable to the above different characterizations, it is vital and better to undergo species-specific.Therefore, how the socioeconomic characteristic, resource endowment, institutional characteristics andphysiological factors affect the farmer’s decision to plant or not to plant eucalyptus is still unclear. Thus, thisstudy aims to analyze factors affecting the farmer’s decision to plant or not to plant eucalyptus trees. The majorobjective of this study was to identify the determinants of farmer’s decision making on planting eucalyptus treesin Meket District, North Wello, and Ethiopia.
