Scientific Study from the year 2012 in the subject Sociology - Medicine and Health, , language: English, abstract: This study was initiated with the specific objectives of assessing the impact of HIV/AIDS on sorghum output. Cross-sectional data collected from a total of 120 respondents were used in this study whereby 40 were affected households and 80 were non-affected households. Cobb-Douglas (CD) production function was used to estimate the productivity difference in sorghum output between affected and non-affected households. The agricultural sector in general and sorghum production in particular in the rural part of Ethiopia is characterized by low productivity which mainly uses labour as an input. However, the availability of the labour force is greatly reduced in both quantity and quality due to the prevalence of HIV/AIDS.
