This paper examines how the fertilizer sector in general, and farmers’ demand for  fertilizer in particular, has evolved since the introduction of fertilizer sector reforms in  Ethiopia.

Autores: Howard,   Julie A.; Said,   Ali; Molla,   Daniel; Diskin,   Patrick K.; Bogale,   Seifu.
The objective of this paper is to present a framework and process that can be used by  Ethiopians for strategic planning in the cereals system, to highlight the most important  constraints to increased productivity and identify critical investments to alleviate them. The  paper uses the framework to take a "first cut" at identifying major constraints and opportunities,  and areas requiring further research, drawing on findings from a rapid appraisal of major food  surplus and deficit areas.
