Description Current available records show that Ethiopia is receiving negligible benefits from its
cotton and textile products export partly on account of low production at the farm
level. Our objective was to study factors responsible for the low production. The
factors affecting farm level marketable supply of cotton were analyzed using Robust
OLS regression analysis. Results showed that size of land allocated for cotton,
productivity per hectare and access to credit were significant factors affecting farm
level marketable cotton supply. Based on the study, policy interventions required to
increase the supply of cotton were suggested
