Teff is the most preferred staple food and cash income by majority of the Ethiopian population and its center of origin is in Ethiopia. This study was designed to inspect the determinants that affect adoption and to provide police recommendation towards improve teff varieties in the study area in the year 2019. A total of 159 sample respondents drawn from five PAs of the district included in the survey. Primary data for the study were collected from respondents using structured interview schedule. Descriptive statistics and econometric model were employed for analyzing the data. Binary logistic regression was incorporated to analyze relationships between a dichotomous dependent variable and explanatory variables. The model result reviled that age of the household head had negatively and significantly affected adoption whereas gender of the household head, teff farming experience, education level, land size owned, farm income and credit availability of sampled respondents were positively and significantly affected the adoption of improved teff varieties. The overall findings of the study underlined the high importance of extension service provision to improve farmers’ access to information and extension advices, facilitating access to credit and improving market condition. Therefore, the government and other Non-Governmental Organization should do their part in creating awareness, facilitating the access and mobilizing farmers to adopt the improved varieties so that farmers can improve their agricultural productivity and then change their livelihood.
