Abstract
The study evaluates the determinants of korerima production and economic efficiency in Ethiopian agriculture using data from 234 smallholder producers. The determinants include age, sex, family size, education, livestock holding, credit utilization, experience, land ownership, total cultivated land, and organic fertilizer utilization. The study suggests that policymakers and development practitioners should address these factors to improve the well-being of korerima producers by using best practices and setting targets for improvement.
