Secondary data were used to review this seminar paper to address the following issues such as production and productivity of wheat, factors affecting the market supply of wheat to the market, challenges and opportunities of wheat production and marketing in Ethiopia. Different scholar found different results on the effect of access to credit and number of family size on the market supply of wheat so it is controversial determinant factor. According to the finding of different authors, access of Market information, level of education, land size and accessibility of all-weather road affect the market supply of wheat positively and significantly and distance to the market affect the marketable surplus of wheat negatively. Ethiopia is characterized by weak institutional support and inadequate infrastructure. Producers are still facing different problems. Favorable environment for private investment, Supportive and collaborative international wheat research networks available, huge ground and surface water potential in the country, government is highly committed to support seed producers these are also some of the opportunities for wheat production and marketing.
