TL;DR
This study examines how renting agricultural machines affects cereal crop productivity and commercialization in Ethiopia.
Contribution
The study provides empirical evidence on the impact of agricultural machine renting in a smallholder farming context.
Findings
Agricultural machine renting significantly improves total factor productivity and technical efficiency.
Adoption of machine renting is influenced by factors like education, land ownership, and access to information.
Machine renting also increases cereal crop commercialization among smallholder farmers.
Abstract
Agricultural mechanization plays an essential role to increase production, productivity and commercialization of cereal crops. Despite the Ethiopian’s government has made substantial efforts to increase production, productivity and commercialization of cereal crops by the introduction of selective and adaptable agricultural machines to smallholder farmers has remained low. This study, therefore, investigated the impacts of agricultural machine renting on cereal crop productivity and commercialization. The study used cross-sectional data collected from 192 agricultural machine users and 208 non-users from West Gojjam zone, Ethiopia. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and econometric models. The econometric model includes Trans log production function, Endogenous switch regression and propensity score matching. The result of descriptive statistics showed that the total…
