“…The long run impact on food security is determined by whether the program leads on soil conservation or not. Households who got fertile land planted with crops, the probability of getting enough harvest for home consumption increases and bring additional income to household (Gray and paddock, 1993).…”

Cassava production has got an international attention and currently different organizations and foundations are involved in research and development activities. But cassava producers in the study area are facing different challenges in production system and marketing for cassava products. Hence, the main focus of this research paper is to see the determinants of cassava production and its marketing channel efficiency in the study area. Both primary and secondary data sources were used to address the objectives and the primary data was collected from 181 sample farmers drown from three cassava producer rural villages using multi-stage sampling technique. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to summarize the data. Furthermore, inferential statistics like multiple linear regression model was employed to identify the determinants of cassava production. The study results indicate that the production trend of cassava in the area has been increasing time to time. The regression analysis results also disclosed that educational level, access to agricultural input, age of the farmers, pests attack, extension visit, fertility of the soil, farm size, irrigation, experience and family size were the variables that significantly influence households cassava production. It is also found that direct sale (producers sell their cassava products to the final consumers) brings the biggest price share (35%) for the farmers and it is the best channel to increase efficiency and the wealth of farmers. The challenging factors influencing the cassava producers in the study area are shortage of farm landholding, marketing chain efficiency, soil fertility, high population pressure, and drought etc. Therefore, the researcher recommends that the government, non-government, cooperatives and agricultural research centers should support the cassava producer farmers by giving improved variety and promote the non-producer farmers to participate in cassava production and create market chain in the study area.

The modern structure of agricultural lands, formed in the conditions of a radical reformation of land relations in rural areas, is analyzed. It is revealed that this structure in agricultural enterprises of different forms of ownership does not meet the principles of rational use of nature due to the excessive share of arable land and low -environmentally sustainable land. At the same time, the share of the arable land in the structure of agricultural land in the non-state agricultural enterprises is 11-12% higher than in the state-owned, which is explained by the efforts of private entrepreneurstenants aimed at increasing agricultural production by expanding the area of arable land. The extremely high level of plowing of agricultural land is a consequence ofthe extensive use of land resources and the main reason for the spread of degradation processes. The only solution to this problem is the development of land management projects that provide ecological and economic justification for crop rotation and land management.
