The study
aimed to assess the determine factor of chicken and egg marketing system
in Lume district, East Shoa Zone, Oromia Region. Random samplings were
employed to select sample kebeles and city based on chicken population
and purposively selects respondents. Administration of pretested
questionnaire were employed on three kebeles and 90 respondents from
scavenging chicken keepers, 10 intensive farms keeping exotic chicken
and 30 middle men (chicken and egg collectors for marketing system) were
interviewed. The kebele respondents were categorized in to 1st, 2nd and
3rd strata having 1-10, 11-20 or 21-49 chicken, respectively. The gender
distribution of chicken and egg traders shows 56.7% of them are female
while the remaining 43.3% were male. Most of the traders (66.7%) sell
both chicken and eggs. Chicken product price was affected by season of
the year like dry season (bega), rainy season (kiremt), feather color,
comb type and holidays. The highest market prices were recorded in red
and white color cocks with double type of comb during Ethiopian New Year
and Easter holidays. Chicken producers fear disease outbreak at rainy
season to produce more chicken, so, supply and demand were decrease in
rainy season. More chicken trader bought chicken from the far distance
of home household for aim of least price. Six market channels were the
main actors in the study area. Strong efforts have to be made to address
constraints and improve the chicken and egg marketing system in
sustainable ways like, increasing productivity of chicken per households
solve vaccine and medicine problem and focusing on market-oriented
production with holistic and multidisciplinary extension, research and
trainings are important areas of action. Also, struggle have to be made
in addition feeding habit of only focus on ‘’dorowet’’ to other chicken
meat feeding system which help reduce chicken meat process and cost
through aware creation.
