Upscaling the productivity performance of the Agricultural Commercialization Cluster Initiative in Ethiopia [Élargissement des performance de productivité de l'Initiative des grappes de Commercialisation Agricole en Éthiopie]

This report presents the results of an impact analysis of several scenarios related to the Agricultural Commercialization Cluster Initiative introduced by the Government of Ethiopia during the first Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP I) as a mechanism to improve agricultural productivity and production within specific geographies targeting a limited number of high-value commodities. This analysis is achieved using a micro-economic model applied to a representative sample of 2,886 farm households spread throughout the country, taken from the Ethiopia Socioeconomic Survey. The potential effects of the simulated scenarios on land use, production, input use, farm income and some food security related indicators are presented and discussed.
