Abstract

 

The most important agricultural product is coffee seed production, which requires a lot of labor and time Coffee seed production is essential to the economies of over 70 countries and is the main source of income for millions of people worldwide. Despite Ethiopia having the largest share of production and economic output, the value of coffee exported from Africa, and particularly Ethiopia, has dropped over time due to a lack of sustainability and low competitiveness of the sub-sector at the national and international market. Coffee, which makes up the lion's share of Ethiopia’s total economic production, has been and continues to be the country's main source of foreign exchange revenues. Despite its significance, the coffee industry encounters a number of challenges in Jimma zone south west Ethiopia, including:- high cost of production of seed and seedlings low productivity and disease.
