Resumen
Descripción
Because agriculture is the economic
backbone of most countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including
Ethiopia, any meaningful sustainable development program in
the continent must therefore be anchored in the sector. The
concept for this study on agribusiness indicators was based
on the vital role that agribusiness plays in agricultural
development. The study focuses on agribusiness indicators
(ABI) to identify and isolate the determining factors that
lead private investors and other stakeholders to participate
in agribusiness and to engage in discourse regarding its
development. A more thorough empirical understanding of
these determinants in turn can usefully inform the types of
policy reforms that can promote agribusiness in Africa. In
Ethiopia, the ABI team focused on the following success
factors: a) access to critical factors of production of
certified hybrid seeds, fertilizer, and mechanical input; b)
enabling environment in terms of access of credit and
transportation; and c) government expenditures on
agriculture, and trade and regulatory policies that
currently influence the agribusiness environment. The
factors and indicators that the research team has included
in this study are not exhaustive but rather are intended to
serve as a pilot that could be scaled up to include more
variables and countries. The findings of the study revealed
the dominant role of the government in the seed and
fertilizer markets. In the seed sub-sector, perennial
shortages of both basic and certified seeds have greatly
limited agricultural productivity in Ethiopia.
