The ability to transport goods quickly, economically and reliably is vital to a nation’s prosperity and capacity to compete in global market. Ethiopia is a landlocked country in East Africa with a land area of about 1.13 million square kilometers and a population of about 82.8 million. 85 percent of the population is living in rural areas and the economy of the country is based mainly on agriculture accounting for 45 percent of GDP, 80 percent of exports and 80 percent of employment. Ethiopian logistics system is characterized by poor logistics management system and lack of coordination of goods transport, low level of development of logistics infrastructure and inadequate fleets of freight vehicles in number and age, damage and quality deterioration of goods while handling, transporting and in storage. This coupled with lack of sea port resulted in poor linkage of producers (farmers) to the consumers (market) and non-competitiveness of Ethiopian goods on global market, which compromised livelihood of the people and economy of the country. There is very high rate of traffic accident (first in the world) and congestion in cities and at city inlets/outlets to which freight vehicles contribute significantly. Efficient and effective logistics system needs to be put in place to solve these socio-economic problems. The objective of this work is to assess the current status of logistics practices in Ethiopia with the aim of identifying the gaps, potentials and constraints for development of effective and efficient logistics system. To meet this objective, qualitative assessment of the soft and hardware of logistics, freight logistics and transport companies, organizations dealing with documentation of import and export goods and case studies of specific supply chains of major goods in Ethiopia are made. Information from secondary sources is used to carry out the assessment. Presence of road of high density and quality makes efficient distribution of goods easy. Customer orientation, low level bureaucracy at customs and trade facilitations expedite goods flow. Availability of skilled manpower, conducive labor regulations and business environment promotes economic activities. On most of these criteria, Ethiopian logistics system is found to be poor. There is urgent need for research on the problems, for which Excellence Center for Freight Transport and Logistics in Ethiopia (EthioLog) is established. Intermodal transport system is the best solution and commencement of construction of 10, 000 km rail line is an opportunity to use road-rail integrated intermodal transport system to solve the logistics problems of the country.

The main objective of this study was to identify the actors in the coffee value chain in Zambia as well as to identify and assess the opportunities and employment creation potential of the value chain. The study found that the potential for the growth of the coffee sector lies in Zambia's production of the globally competitive Arabica coffee variety; the increasing global demand for specialty coffee in premium niche markets (mainly based on fair trade and organic farming principles); and the existence of institutional arrangements such as the Zambia Coffee Growers Association that promote, regulate and coordinate the development of coffee in Zambia. However, despite this potential, the coffee sector has been experiencing a downward trend in production and export of coffee beans. While a wide range of constraints from production to policy issues limit the growth of the coffee sector, the most noteworthy factors are the long production period of the coffee plant which acts as a di...

This Arabica coffee manual for Myanmar is an activity under a FAO Technical Cooperation Program coffee project for Myanmar and has been prepared as a support base for training trainers and staff of the Coffee Research Information Extension and Training Centre (CRIETC) of Myanmar Farm Enterprises (MFE) at Pyin Oo Lwin. The manual has been compiled by Ted Winston, Jacques Op de Laak, Tony Marsh (International Consultants to the FAO coffee project), Keith Chapman (Industrial Crops Officer, FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific) in collaboration with Okkar Aung (Director) and the staff of CRIETC. The manual contains key information of importance to farmers and managers of coffee plantations and is intended to be a primary source of practical knowledge on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP).

ABSTRACT This study aimed at identifying the major problems that are associated with the growth and success of MSEs specially focuses on trade, services, manufacturing, construction and urban agriculture sectors in Gurage zone three selected Woreda. In the study, both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used in order to achieve the objective of the study. Primary data was obtained using questionnaires, unstructured interviews and personal observations. The information gathered through questionnaire from a sample of 140 operators and face-to-face interviews were conducted with MSEs operators. Secondary data was also collected from books, journals, past research works, official documents and the internet. The respondents of MSEs operators were selected by using of Stratified sampling techniques from the study area. Besides, the interview questions were analyzed using descriptive narrations and summation of different respondents’ point of views. The analytical strategy used based on the assumptions developed by previous studies. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of Statistical Packages for Social (SPSS) for measure of central tendency and dispersion, Pearson’s Product moment correlation Coefficient and multiple regression analysis. On the basis of the findings, the major problems facing the MSEs operators in Gurage zone are lack of finance, lack of management skills and previous industrial experience, lack of sufficient working premises, lack of infrastructural facilities, lack of proper marketing skills and lack of conducive working environments. The results of the findings further indicate that there exists positive strong significant relationship between independent variables and dependent variable. Finally, the selected independent variables may significantly test the variations from the dependent variable at 1% level of significance. Based on the results of the findings, recommendations are forwarded to operators of MSEs , to government bodies and for the other researchers. Key words: Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs), Factors, Growth and Success.
