    In the agricultural sector, risks are inherent and ubiquitous, posing potentially serious consequences for stakeholders and consumers. Agricultural projects financed by Development Bank of Ethiopia are a victim of such risks due to several factors. This study is aimed to assess risk management practice of agricultural projects financed by DBE by assessing risk management process such as risk planning, risk identification, risk analysis, risk response and risk monitoring and control. The study used descriptive research design and quantitative research approach where stratified sampling technique is used to gather information from selected directorate staffs in the Bank and project managers of the projects. 50 agricultural projects were assessed and 172 questionnaire were distributed to respondent from that 137 response were collected and put to analysis. Secondary data was used to contextualize and discuss the theoretical aspect of the study. SPSS V20 is used to analyze primarily data collected by the way of percentage, mean and standard deviation. Finding from the study revealed that, there is less risk management practice in risk planning and risk analysis process than other processes, and it is evident that much more work needs to be done to improve the project risk management practice in order to reduce threat and increase opportunities of agricultural projects financed by the Development Bank of Ethiopia. The study recommends, future research be performed on other project sectors financed by Development Bank of Ethiopia, such as tourism, mining, and quarries, among others.
