“…Te examination was conducted in Gimbi District, Western Ethiopia, which is 441 km west of Addis Ababa (Figure 1). It is surrounded by the Benishangul-Gumuz region in the north, East Welega in the east, Lalo Asabi District in the west, Homa District in the southwest, Haru District in the south, and an exclaved Benishangul-Gumuz area in the southwest [45]. Te mean annual temperatures in the studied areas range from 10 to 30 °C, and these locations are distinguished by a unimodal rainfall pattern with an average annual rainfall of 1,700 mm and the height spans from 1,200 to 2,222 m.a.s.l.…”

The physicochemical properties of Western Ethiopian soils were negatively threatened with continuous cultivation crop lands. Soil amendments with biochar and lime facilitate and improve soil physicochemical properties directly and indirectly and enhance crop productivity. A field experiment was conducted in Gimbi District, Western Ethiopia, to examine the effects of combined coffee husk biochar (CHB) and soil test value-based lime (STV) rate application on physicochemical properties of acid soils. The trial included eight treatments, including control, 100% STV, 10 ton of CHB, and CHB + STV rates at 10 ton + 75%, 10 ton + 50%, 7.5 ton + 75%, 7.5 ton + 50%, and 5 ton + 75% ha−1on two farm fields. The fields were laid out in RCBD with three replications. The treatments had substantial effects on P<0.05) on the soil’s physicochemical characteristics. The application of biochar and lime in Farms-1 and 2 reduced soil BD from 1.21 and 1.41 g·cm−3 to 1.15 and 1.12 to 0.90 and 0.97 g·cm−3, respectively. The soil pH level was increased from 5.10 to a range of 5.58 to 6.11 in Farm-1, and in Farm-2, from 4.64 to a range of 4.64 to 6.22 levels. The application of 10 ton of CHB + 75% of STV in Farms-1 and 2 resulted in the highest SOC of 7.44% and 7.68%, respectively. The application of 10 ton of CHB + 75% of STV in Farms-1 and 2 resulted in 4.86 mg·kg−1 and 6.96 mg·kg−1 available P, respectively. Available P was positively correlated with pH (0.62), SOC (0.63), and CEC (0.66). Exchangeable acidity was decreased from 4.64 cmol(+)kg−1 to a range from 3.19 to 0.98 cmol(+)kg−1 in Farm-1 and from 5.00 cmol(+)kg−1 to a range from 3.38 to 1.10 cmol(+)kg−1 in Farm-2. Therefore, amending the strongly acidic to very strongly acidic soil with a combined CHB (7.5 to 10 ton ha−1) and STV (50 to 75% ha−1) rates had improved the soil physicochemical properties of agricultural lands. To make a firm conclusion, research on soil analysis after crop harvest and economic benefit is required.

“…In addition, there is production of 152 million liters of goat milk, but only very small quantities enter the value chain Shapiro et al [9]. Dairy cooperative and unions play a significant role in ensuring sustainable supply of raw milk to the dairy industry by coordinating the flow of milk from the members and assisting them by supplying the required dairy farm inputs Bekuma et al [12]; Yilma et al [21].…”

“…This means the licensed traders pay taxes and compete with non-tax payers in the market, distorting the normal working environment of the business [30].Similarly, Land O'Lakes [11] reported that the main player in the informal sector is the "milk traders" who buys directly from farmers and sell directly to an end market such as small milk bars, cafés, and milk shops. As reported by Bekuma et al [12] Dairy owners as a result sell their milk and milk products informally to unlicensed vendors, retailers or village consumers.…”

“…As is common in other African countries (e.g., Kenya and Uganda), dairy products in Ethiopia are channeled to consumers through both formal and informal dairy marketing systems [8][9][10]. The informal market involves direct delivery of fresh milk by producers to consumer in the immediate neighborhood and sale to itinerant traders or individuals in nearby towns [11,12]. Cow milk, camel milk and butter are the main commodities entering the dairy value chains [9].…”

Factors Affecting Milk and Milk Product Export by Ethiopia. A Review

This Review article concerns on the types and quantity of milk products produced in Ethiopia and imported and exported products by Ethiopia, to review factors affecting milk and milk product export. The dairy industry is one of the most important components of the world food system and is undergoing dramatic change at the current time. Exports are forecast to expand across all the main dairy commodities, namely butter, cheese, Whole Milk Powder (WMP) and Skim Milk Powder (SMP). However, data of the Ethiopian Revenue and Customs Authority indicate that the country is a net importer of milk and its derivatives. Presently the value of exported dairy products is very low. The major dairy products in Ethiopia include traditional and industrially produced products. However, "Between "2013 to 2017, the country spent over 48.61 million US Dollar to import various milk and milk products. Ethiopia is not known to export dairy products. Informal marketing channels, poor quality product, fully unimplemented and unfitted of International standards and requirements, Absence of quality-based payments, unlicensed traders, Recent Power Cut and Lack of dairy policy were the main factors that affect milk and milk products export by Ethiopia. The government should be made regulatory laws which guided and controlled illegal traders who entered the domestic and international markets. Formulate dairy and milk product policies to enhanced export performance. Encourage and support the processors to substitute imported products and to export quality milk and milk products worldwide.
