Abstract

Chickpea marketing system in Ethiopia is highly immature and poorly organized. This indicates outlet choice is comparatively new and greatly inconstant depending on production situations. The product channeled through complex channel of marketing chains that involve a number of mediators and marketing agents. So, the study was aimed to identify determinant of market outlet choice on chickpea farmers in Dembia district. A two stage sampling technique was used to determine sample size. A total of 150 sample households were randomly selected for an interview using a semi-structured questionnaire and key informants were the other method of data collection. Multivariate probit model was employed to identify the factor affecting chickpea market outlet choices. The result of multivariate probit model showed that literacy status, owning transport facility, livestock holding, chickpea yield and access to extension service significantly influenced the choice of chickpea market outlet choice in the study area. The common underlying factors of market channel choice were also identified. Based on the results, the study recommended that traders, local and national governments, none governmental organizations, policy makers and stakeholders should focus on strengthening the existence formal and informal education, chickpea production system, in improving extension system, strengthening the existing rural telecom and rural-urban infrastructure to achieve good market chain system in the study area as well as at the country level.
