Abstract

This study assesses the effects of Ethiopia's current land tenure system on household farmland access. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study found that the mean farmland size was 1.59 ha, with government allocation accounting for 41.9%. Access varied significantly by household head age and sex. Illegal land transactions were prevalent, and many respondents viewed the current tenure system negatively. Regression analysis identified oxen ownership, crop production, income, education, and credit access as determinants of farmland size. The study recommends empowering female-headed households, encouraging younger households, enforcing legal land regulations, and addressing illegal land markets.
