“…Live Animals Inputs: Goats and sheep are often the main assets of poor farmers and herders and constitute an important source of daily cash, meat and dairy because they act as an informal "bank" due to the way assets can easily be sold for cash during household crises (Barua and Rahman, 2021;CNFA, 2016;Kassahun et al, 2020). The selection of individual animals for breeding, particularly ewes, is related to adaptability and suitability given feed resources and compatibility with the local environment and market requirements (Shah et al, 2015a, Shah et al, 2015b.…”

“…These credit services may come from private banks, individuals or microcredit development institutions (IFAD, 2013). Use of credit service significantly and positively affects market participation and level of participation in the small ruminant market, as it can be argued that those farmers who have access to formal credit are more likely to participate in the small ruminant market than those who do not have access to formal credit (Kassahun et al, 2020). Shah et al (2015b) have shown that the size of livestock, especially small ruminants, is what determines the creditworthiness of farms in Bahawalpur district, and small ruminants are treated as cash deposits and easily salable commodities by farmers, as compared to other assets and even larger animals.…”

The current study was conducted in order to deepen the understanding of how small ruminants fit into the economy and enhance the competitiveness of live animals and value-added products. This study focuses on previous efforts to understand what value chains mean in the small ruminant sector, what it really means to deliver value to customers, understand the links between production, marketing, etc. activities of products and services in an effective manner, and the role of value added in providing wealth to all stakeholders who participated. Previous literature was reviewed in detail especially for that included a case study and detailed analysis of the five value chain elements, identification of actors and promoters, horizontal and vertical links, flow mapping through the chain, identification of marketing channels, key challenges and opportunities and review the possible interventions within vertical and horizontal interactions and management structure according to this literature. It was found that strategies for good breeding, improving health care, providing credit, improving markets, improving pasture productivity and rehabilitating them, in addition to the involvement of potential actors and the coordinated efforts of all stakeholders; It will increase the productivity of small ruminants and improve product/market development and thus have sustainable value chains for small ruminants.

“…Therefore, a double-hurdle approach is appropriate for avoiding sample selection bias and explaining the commercialisation and intensity drivers. Several previous studies used a double-hurdle approach in an effort to minimise sample selection bias (Cheteni et al, 2014;Kassahun et al, 2020;Mudemba et al, 2020). Therefore, the two-stage decision process is conceptualised as follows (Fig.…”

Literature suggests that there are high levels of commercialisation by even the poorest and smallest landholders within the horticulture subsector in most rural Africa. Thus, the notion of poor commercialisation among smallholder farmers is now being challenged. Against this background,this paper estimated factors that influence commercialisation by smallholder cabbage farmers in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The study used a cross-sectional survey of120 smallholder cabbage farmers obtained through a multistage sampling procedure. A Cragg double-hurdle model was applied to analyse the factors that influence the commercialisation decision and intensity of commercialisation. In the first stage, the result of the probit regression model revealed that gender, age, access to informal credit and area planted were significant factors towards influencing smallholder cabbage farmers’ commercialisation decisions. In the second stage, the results of the truncated regression model revealed that family size and area planted were the key factors determining the intensity of commercialisation. Hence, the attempts to improve smallholder farmers’ cabbage commercialisation should be guided by these significant explanatory variables in the study area, given the low commercialisation index revealed.

Tef is the first crop produced in Ethiopia and the main staple food and income generation source. The productivity of the crop is low due to different factors. This study aimed to identify factors affecting tef market participation decision and the level of market participation of tef producers’. Multi-stage sampling techniques were used to select appropriate sample households. The descriptive statistic, inferential statistic, and econometrics model were used to analyze the collected data. The result shows that 72.27% of sampled households sold their tef in the market. The double hurdle model result revealed that tef market participation decision was affected by land allocated for tef, the volume of tef produced, gender of household head, education level of household head, additional income sources, extension services, and market information while the intensity of participation was affected by the volume of tef produced, gender, education level, improved variety used, additional income sources, and extension service. These results suggest that to enhance the flow of tef to market and intensity of tef in participation skills and knowledge through training, advising, and supervision; capacitate farmers by the additional work atmosphere and empowering women farmers through improved variety and to access working capital are need attention by respective sectors that contribute in the commodity value chain.
