| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of this study was to identify factors affecting the performance of sesame export: The case of Dangur woreda, Metekel zone, Benishangul Gumuz Regional State. The research approach of this study is a mixed approach of descriptive and explanatory approach to analyze Liker scale type data. The researcher has selected five variables and the data was collected through structured questionnaires on linker scale measurement technique and some open-ended interview questions from a population of sesame seed exporters, producers and agricultural sector supporter basically agricultural transformation agency of the regional government. Linear regression models, Descriptive statistics and inferential analysis were employed to examine the effects of the selected variables on the performance of sesame seeds export performance in the study area. All necessary tests such as normality, homoscedasticity, linearity and null hypothesis tests were taken place. The findings implied that out of the selected five variables four variables like foreign price level, quality of the product, production/productivity and infrastructure were found to have significant effect on Sesame export performance in the study area where infrastructure is the most influential variable. Hence, it is recommended that developing all season rural feeder road and other important infrastructure service, introduction of modern agricultural technologies for product storage (silos) and constructing modern warehouses so that the quality of the sesame export can be maintained, support the producers in supplying modern agricultural technologies such as tractors, planters, sprayers and harvester machines to boost production/productivity and working on the stability of the foreign exchange rate. | |
