Agriculture is the main stay of Ethiopian economy, contributing 50% share in the gross domestic product (GDP). About 85% of the population is engaged in agriculture; about 75% of the Ethiopia's industry is engaged in processing of farm products (Yohannes, 1991). From the total area in the country, 69% is estimated to be suitable for agricultural purposes.
