ABSTRACT

Date palm production and marketing contribute substantially to food security, reduction of malnutrition, mitigation of poverty, and income diversification for poor agro-pastoralists in Ethiopia. However, marketing systems are not sophisticated and well functioning, and producers do not as such benefit from date market participation due to different factors. This study examined factors that determine date market participation decisions and intensity. A total of 384 date producers were selected through a multi-stage sampling technique. A Descriptive and Double hurdle model was employed to analyze the data. The Double hurdle econometric model revealed that producers with access to extension services, improved date palm varieties, credit, road infrastructure, market information, land access, better market prices, better educational status, and direct to consumer marketing channels were more likely to participate in and supply the date market. Whereas producers who had livestock, dwellings distant from the nearest market, or a greater number of date palm trees, were adversely affected in date market participation intensity. The results of this study support the recommendations for establishing extension services, rural education, rural road infrastructure, marketplaces, and institutional support; and providing credit access, improved date palm varieties, additional hectares of land for date production, and updated market information to date palm producers.

埃塞俄比亚阿法尔地区枣生产商市场参与决策和强度的决定因素:双重障碍方法

摘要

枣椰树的生产和销售对埃塞俄比亚贫困农牧民的粮食安全、减少营养不良、减轻贫困和收入多样化做出了重大贡献。然而,营销系统并不复杂和运作良好,由于不同的因素,生产者并没有从日期市场参与中受益。本研究考察了决定日期市场参与决策和强度的因素。通过多阶段抽样技术,共选择了 384 名枣生产者。采用描述性和双障碍模型来分析数据。双障碍计量经济学模型显示,生产者可以获得推广服务、改良的枣椰树品种、信贷、道路基础设施、市场信息、土地准入、更好的市场价格、更好的教育状况、直接面向消费者的营销渠道更有可能参与和供应枣市场。而拥有牲畜、远离最近市场的住所或大量椰枣树的生产者在椰枣市场参与强度方面受到不利影响。这项研究的结果支持建立推广服务、农村教育、农村道路基础设施、市场和机构支持的建议;并提供信贷准入、改进的枣椰树品种、用于枣树生产的额外公顷土地,以及向枣椰树生产商提供最新市场信息。日市场参与强度受到不利影响。这项研究的结果支持建立推广服务、农村教育、农村道路基础设施、市场和机构支持的建议;并提供信贷准入、改进的枣椰树品种、用于枣树生产的额外公顷土地,以及向枣椰树生产商提供最新市场信息。日市场参与强度受到不利影响。这项研究的结果支持建立推广服务、农村教育、农村道路基础设施、市场和机构支持的建议;并提供信贷准入、改进的枣椰树品种、用于枣树生产的额外公顷土地,以及向枣椰树生产商提供最新市场信息。
