Abstract

This study examines the determinants of non-agricultural household participation in the Hulla woreda, sidama regional state. For this study, 204 samples of households were selected using a multi-stage sampling method. The researcher used a structured questionnaire to collect data from the sample households. For this study Econometrics analysis method was used. the probit model was used to examine the determinants of household non-agricultural participation in non-agricultural activities. On average, households receive an income of 34,294.8930 birr/year from agriculture and 10,946.6279 birr/year from non-agricultural activities. This study suggests that governments and non-governmental organizations should pay due attention to creating a comprehensive platform to enable households to participate in non-agricultural activities, to increase community awareness and raise awareness of the importance of non-agricultural agriculture for the Livelihood and the economy sharpen security.
