According to the current land policy of Ethiopia, rural households are legally allowed to access agricultural lands. Nonetheless, the difficulty of rural population in accessing farmlands makes controversial authenticity of this land tenure to solve problems of household farmland access. This study aimed at assessing the effects of the current land tenure on augmenting household farmland access in Ethiopia. The study followed a mixed-methods research design to investigate the variables in the study. Thus, data were collected through a survey questionnaire, focus group discussion and interviews between May and June 2019. For data analysis, both descriptive and inferential statistics methods were employed. Consequently, study results indicated that the mean farmland size per household was 1.59 ha and government land allocation accounted for 41.9%. The farmland accesses of households headed by persons below 35 years were 13% and that of all female-headed households was 23.2%. It also showed that there were illegal farmland accesses via furtive farmland purchasing. On top of this, 63% of respondents perceived that the current land tenure was not a good rule. The regression analysis showed that the number of oxen, total crop production; annual income, education, and credit access were determinants of household farmland size. In conclusion, farmland scare areas in Ethiopia like Arsi zone have problems of deficient government land allocation, as well as unforeseen illicit farmland transactions. Given augmenting household farmland access, the study recommended that female-headed households have to be empowered and younger-headed households should be encouraged to enhancing their farmland accesses. The farming community should affirm to legal land regulations for maintaining their tenure arrangements. The local government should work according to land rules to liquidate illicit land markets. The national government should mitigate imbalanced farmland access by enforcing land rule acts such as land redistribution and reallocation with the consultation of the people. All level governments should strictly control alarming illegal changes of farmlands to urban areas by illicit land transactions.

根据埃塞俄比亚目前的土地政策，法律允许农村家庭进入农业用地。然而，农村人口难以获得耕地使该土地使用权的真实性引起争议，以解决家庭耕地获得问题。这项研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚当前土地使用权对增加家庭耕地获取的影响。该研究遵循混合方法研究设计，以调查研究中的变量。因此，在2019年5月至2019年6月之间通过调查问卷，焦点小组讨论和访谈收集了数据。为了进行数据分析，采用了描述性和推断性统计方法。因此，研究结果表明，每户平均耕地面积为1.59公顷，政府土地分配占41.9％。35岁以下户主家庭的农田出入率为13％，而所有女户主家庭的农田出入率为23.2％。它还表明，通过偷偷购买农田有非法农田进入。最重要的是，有63％的受访者认为当前的土地使用权不是一个好规则。回归分析表明，牛的数量，农作物的总产量；年收入，教育程度和信贷渠道是家庭耕地面积的决定因素。总之，埃塞俄比亚的耕地稀缺地区（如Arsi区）存在政府土地分配不足以及无法预料的非法耕地交易等问题。鉴于增加了家庭耕地的获取，该研究建议必须增强女户主家庭的权能，并应鼓励年轻户主的家庭增加其耕地的获取。农业界应确认土地的法律规定，以维持其土地使用权安排。地方政府应按照土地法规清算非法土地市场。中央政府应在人民协商的情况下，通过执行土地重新分配和重新分配等土地法规行为来减轻农田的不平衡使用。各级政府应当通过非法土地交易，严厉控制令人震惊的农田非法向城市转移。地方政府应按照土地法规清算非法土地市场。中央政府应在人民协商的情况下，通过执行土地重新分配和重新分配等土地法规行为来减轻农田的不平衡使用。各级政府应当通过非法土地交易，严厉控制令人震惊的农田非法向城市转移。地方政府应按照土地法规清算非法土地市场。中央政府应在人民协商的情况下，通过执行土地重新分配和重新分配等土地规则行为来减轻农田的不平衡利用。各级政府应当通过非法土地交易，严厉控制令人震惊的农田非法向城市转移。
