| dc.description.abstract | A livestock market study to identify the typology of livestock markets, to estimate marketing margins and mareket participants ' share in the distribution of income from live stock trade and t o identify factors determining cattle prices was made using a case study method . Seven livestock markets, located along the trade route from bele (Arssi) to Addis Ababa, were selected. Data on cattle prices, factors identified to determine cattle prices, market costs and factors specified to characterize market types were collected . Cattle prices were deseasonalized using price indices in order to remove the seasonal component. A semi-log general model was fitted to both adjusted and unadjusted price data in order to see the relationship between cattle prices and factors determining cattle prices. The Chow test was conducted to see whether or not the same type of factors which determine cattle prices are to be found in all types of livestock markets . The results indicate that the livestock markets of the country can be classified as primary , secondary and terminal on the basis of such classificatory criteria as type of market participants , reseasons for purchase , type of cattle marketed , mode of transaction and location of the market place . The share of producers in the final price of cattle was found to be affected by the distance of the location of the producers with respect to the terminal market . Those producers located relatively nearer to the terminal market received higher share than those located far from the terminal market . In the regression analysis, the coefficients of the variables .' ." identified to determine cattle prices were found to be different among market types . It was further noted that the cattle marketing system of the country is inefficient .. due to lack of market information, poor trekking arrangements and inadequate market facilities . The study , therefore , concluded by pointing out policy measures to be pursued in order to promote the efficiency of the domestic cattle marketing system of the country. | en_US |
