1 Summary
Teff is one of the major cereal crops in Ethiopia which is mainly used for food
consumption. The composition of Teff shows that it has good mineral content and
generally higher amount of the essential amino acids. The crop can grow well in
moisture stress and waterlogged conditions better than other cereals. It can also be
grown from sea level up to 2800m, under various rainfalls, temperature and soil
regimes. Most of the Ethiopian farmers use traditional varieties of Teff which is known
to have a very low yield, around 910 kg per hectare. Modern varieties are also used in
many regions such as Gojjam and Shewa but in very small areas. The yield of the
modern varities is estimated to be 1700-2200 kg per hectare on farmers’ fields and 2200-
2800 kg per hectare on research managed large farms.
The objective of this analytical study is to understand the commodity Teff with respect
to volume of production, marketable surplus, distribution channel, grade and
standards, marketing issues and price. Various analytical techniques such as trend
analysis, percentage change, percentage share, average, standard deviation, coefficientof variation and correlation coefficient were used to assess the characteristics under
study. Based on the analysis of production, supply, demand, marketing and price

Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR, Tigray and Benshangule-Gumz regions are the major
Teff producing regions in the country. According to the 2007/08 AgriculturalSample Survey, Amhara and Oromia regions took the first and the second
position in Teff production. The productivity of the land measured by yield
(quintal per hectare) for Amhara is greater than that of Oromia. SNNPR and
Tigray regions took the third and fourth position in Teff production, respectively.
Looking at the zonal distribution of teff production, there are 19 major Teff
producing zones in the country which account for more than 83 percent of the
country’s total Teff production. These zones are found in Tigray, Amhara and
Oromia regions. Of all these zones, East Gojjam is the leading zone contributing
for more than 10 percent of the national annual Teff production. There are also
other potential Teff producing zones in Amhara (North Gonder, North Shewa
and West Gojjam zones) and in Oromia (West Shewa, East Shewa and South
West Shewa zones); which contribute, individually, from five to ten percent to
the national Teff production.

Have very small amount of stock holding and poor storage building
facilities.

INTRODUCTION
2.1 Background
Teff is a grain crop solely produced in the country for human consumption. It grows in
most of the agro-ecology zones of the country. In 2007/08 meher season, Teff ranks first
in total crop land and second next to maize in quantity produced among other cereals.This high and growing market demand of the crop and its large volume of production
with increasing trend encouraged the ECX to consider the crop to trade on its platform.
The objective of this study is to understand the commodity Teff. Emphasis is given to
the analysis of volume of production, marketable surplus, distribution channel, grade
and standards, and marketing issues. Accordingly, the remaining parts of this section
elaborate the objectives, scope and methodology of the study. The rest of the report is
organized in five sections. In section three, origin and diversity, ecology and
geographical distribution, properties and use, agronomy and crop limitation and
prospects of Teff production will be discussed. Section four deals with Teff production
trend, regional distribution, major producing zones, surplus production and deficit
area. Marketed surplus of Teff will be also discussed in this section. In section five, Teff

2.3 Scope and Significance of the Study
The scope of this study is limited to the National level with focus on Teff production,
supply and marketing aspects based on secondary data. The different national
agencies in the country that produce statistical data mainly deliver the meher season
agricultural data. However, the belg season agricultural data and also data on
commercial and state farms are hard to obtain from these agencies. The out come of
this study is used as an input for decision makers on issues related to Teff production
and marketing. More over, it is also an input for researchers that make deeper analysis
on the subject matter under study.
2.4 Source of Data and Method of Analysis
The analysis has utilized only secondary sources, and data collected by national
agencies (Central Statistical Agency and EGTE) and different international websites.
These different sources are used for comparison, cross checking and more insights inthe analysis. The data consist of information on quantity terms for Teff production,
supply and prices.

3 BACKGROUND
3.1
Origin and diversity
The fact that several endemic and non endemic species of Eragrostis, some of which are
considered the wild relatives of Teff , are found in Ethiopia and, in addition, the fact that
the genetic diversity for Teff exists nowhere in the world except in Ethiopia, indicates
that Teff originated and was domesticated in Ethiopia. Many writers identified Ethiopia
as the centre of origin and diversity of Teff . As with several other crops, the exact date
and location for the domestication of Teff is unknown. However, according to different
sources there is no doubt that it is a very ancient crop in Ethiopia, where domestication
took place before the birth of Christ around 4000-1000 BC.
On the basis of linguistic, historic, geographic and botanical notes, Teff is assumed to
have originated in northeastern Africa. The current area of cultivation is probably not
the initial one of domestication; domestication probably occurred in the western area of
Ethiopia, where agriculture is precarious and semi-nomadic.

3.4 Agronomy and limitation of the crop
In Ethiopia, Teff is cultivated in much the same way as wheat and barley. Depending on
the location and maturity period of the varieties, it is grown during the main growing
season between July and November, and also during the small rainy season between
March and June. It is mainly cultivated as a mono crop, but occasionally under a
multiple cropping system.
Teff can be planted in late may similar to millets. Late plantings have the advantage to
control emerged weeds by tillage prior to planting, which can be significant since Teff is
a poor competitor with weeds during the early growth stages. Teff should be seeded 12–
15 mm deep either broadcast or in narrow rows. The tiny seed size requires much
pulverized soils; otherwise, the seed can not emerge. This calls for cultural practices
requiring huge amount of family and/ or hired labor during land preparation, weeding
and harvesting.
Teff performs better both in good and bad years. It grows well in moisture stress and
waterlogged conditions better than other cereals. Moderate rates of nitrogen and
phosphorus fertilizer are suggested to prevent lodging. In netosoils area if early sown
crops failed; the field will be left solely for Teff While in versisoils area if early sown
-

Local varieties give low yield. At present the national average grain yield of Teff is 910
kg/ha. Improved varieties of Teff give a grain yield of 1700-2200 kg/ha on farmers'fields and 2200-2800 kg/ha on research managed large farms. However, no
comprehensive study has been conducted to assess the yield potential of the crop.
3.5 Prospects
Ethiopian farmers prefer to grow Teff because of the following advantages:
It can be grown in areas experiencing moisture stress.
It can be grown in waterlogged areas and withstands anaerobic conditions better
than many other cereals, including maize, wheat and sorghum.
It is suitable for use in multiple cropping systems such as double, relay and
intercropping.
Its straw is a valuable feed during the dry season when there is an acute
shortage. It is highly preferred by cattle over the straw of other cereals anddemands high prices in the markets.
-
8/20/2019 Teff Crop Profile.pdf
13/37
It is not attacked by weevils and other storage pests and therefore is easily and
safely stored under local storage conditions. This results in reduced postharvestmanagement costs.
Compared with any other cereals growing in Ethiopia it has fewer disease and
pest problems.

4 Production of Teff
Teff is one of the major cereal crops in Ethiopia. It is used throughout the country almost
by all citizens for food, especially for the preparation of local bread called ‘Injera’ and
local alcoholic drink called ‘Tela’ and ‘Katikala’. Its production mainly depends on soil
type, altitude and agro-ecologic climatic conditions. It is the first in volume of cultivated
area in the group of cereal crops and the second next to maize in volume of production.

4.1 Regional Distribution of Teff Production
Mostly Teff is produced by small holder farmers at the central, eastern and northern
highlands of the country on fragmented lands with rain fed conditions in both, Meher
and Belg, seasons. Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR, Tigray and Benshangule-Gumz regions
are the major Teff producing regions in the country. According to the 2007/08
agricultural sample survey, Amhara and Oromia regions took the first and the secondposition in Teff production, respectively. The productivity of the land measured by
yield (quintal per hectare) for Amhara is greater than that of Oromia. SNNPR and
Tigray regions took the third and fourth position in Teff production, respectively. The
productivity in SNNPR is by far less than that of Tigray and even other Teff producing
regions in the country (see Table 4-3).

Surplus and Deficit Areas
Surplus areas are defined as areas with a significant marketable surplus for export to
other regions of the country (Eleni Z. Gebre-medhin 124 research report, 2001). With
respect to Teff production, entire shewa of Oromia and Amhara regions and entire
Gojjam are the major Teff surpluses producing areas of the country. Conversely, deficit
areas are defined as areas that have a net grain deficit and import grain from other areas
of the country. Entire Wollo, Tigray region, and the Harar/ Dire Dawa region in eastern
Ethiopia and most of the pastorals area of the country are considered as deficit areas of
the country.
4.4 Marketed Surplus of Teff
The annual volume of marketed surplus of Teff depends on the yearly use of improved
agricultural technologies, weather condition suitable to Teff production and availability
of family or hired labor for peak agricultural activities. The agricultural sampleenumeration survey report, conducted by CSA in 2001/02 shows that of the total Teff
production in the country farmers sold on average 26 percent of their produce The

5 MARKETING OF TEFF
5.1 Peculiarities in Teff Marketing
In Ethiopia, Teff is produced mainly for the purpose of local consumption. Injera made
of Teff is the favorite diet of the citizens and usually considered as a prestige in the
community. For consumers, its taste and preference is unique making other grains the
poor substitute for Teff . Because of these reasons, the demand for Teff is consistently
high over time and its demand is inelastic to price variability compared to other grain
crops in Ethiopia. Another peculiar characteristic usually mentioned by farmers is that
it will be stored for long time.
Price paid for Teff varies with its quality. White teff is considered to be the best quality
and fetches premium price to farmers. However, in terms of the nutritional value,
studies carried out on Teff indicate that red varieties have more ironic content and
suitable aroma/ taste than that of the white one( Seyfu,1993).
5.2
Market infrastructure
5.2.1 Characteristics of rural markets
-
8/20/2019 Teff Crop Profile.pdf
24/37
Village markets, on the other hand, are located outside the highway and most of the
time they supply marketable surplus to the nearby major markets in a given wereda.
Farmers establish village markets to get a market outlet for their produce and to obtain
consumable items when they are unable to visit major markets. At times when family
members get engaged in agricultural activities, farmers are forced to provide their Teff
produce to rural assemblers in village markets. Moreover, village markets are
characterized by one or two types of agricultural products. These products areeventually supplied to major markets through rural assemblers.
5.3 Storehouse facilities
Teff can be stored for longer periods without being attacked by weevils. It is also possible to
store it in any local made storing materials. Some wholesalers usually store produces till the
price gets its highest level, which requires huge amount of investment for warehouse and
working capital. However, since most rural grain traders have very small amount of stock
holding capacity and poor storage building facilities, they usually transport their stock
holding immediately to the central grain market so that they can regain their working
capital.
5 4 Market information
-
8/20/2019 Teff Crop Profile.pdf
25/37
information from other farmers. On the other hand, a trader can get price information from
his intimate friend participating in the grain market. Currently, because of the rapid
diffusion of mobile phone facilities, the market information among traders is being easily
accessed. Farmers, brokers and traders generally rely on their own personal contact
networks in order to gather relevant and timely market information.
5.5 Transportation
Transportation facility is the important marketing function which enables producers in
surplus producing areas gain better market price while consumers in deficit areas get
reduced marketing price than would have been prevailing otherwise. Due to poor
infrastructure, most farmers use donkeys, human load, horse, and vehicle to transport
their produce to the nearby village or major markets as far as 30km within a wereda.
5.6 Market Participants
Producers are the single important part of the marketing structure without whom all
other marketing practices is impossible. Producers near the major markets supply their
produce in these markets. Those producers located far away from major markets might
supply to rural assemblers or travel to the major markets. Rural assemblers collect

5.7 Teff Grading and Standardization
The quality of teff is traditionally graded into five by the Assembly wholesalers of the
major markets. These are: Magna (very white), Nech (white), Sergegna (mix between
white and red), abolse and key (brown). The four grades indicate the color of the Teff
variety while abolse is the name given to the improved Teff variety. Magna teff is the first
grade while key teff is the last in terms of their value in the market.
Most traders employ three categories of grade; namely, Nech, Sergegna and key. Thus,
every collector in the market has three canvases and a weighting balance to buy Teff
from the farmers or rural traders. The teff coming from farmers and rural assemblers is
sorted in one of the three canvases according to its color. In each marketing day, thepurchased Teff is mixed up in the given canvas to have similar color before it is bagged
in 100kg lots. The major purpose of this task is to collect large volume of similar grades
from the small quantity of Teff supplied by small-scale producers.
However, the Quality and Standard Authority of Ethiopia has set standards for
produces of Teff . According to Quality and Standards Authority of Ethiopia (QSAE),
Teff is classified into four; namely,

6 PRICE ANALYSIS OF TEFF
6.1 Price volatility of Teff
The variability of Teff prices through time at market level was measured using standard
deviation and coefficients of variation and the results for different markets are given in
ANNEX 2. At the wholesale level the average standard deviation for the white Teff price
level was 113 birr/quintal while the average coefficient of variation was 23%. Similarly,
at the wholesale level the average standard deviations for the mixed and red Teff were
111 birr/quintal and106 birr/quintal, respectively, and the average coefficient of
variations were 25% and 27%, respectively.
Comparatively high price variability was observed at Addis Ababa, Dessie, Nazareth
and Nekempt for the three different types of Teff . There are also remarkably high
coefficients of variation at Dire Dawa, Mekele and Ziway for mixed Teff and Bale Robe,
Debre Birhan, Dire Dawa, Mekele, Shashemene and Ziway for red Teff . The range of
price percentage variation among markets varies for the three different types of Teff .
The white Teff price at whole sale level varies from 16.8 to 30.6 percent across the

across markets for white Teff , mixed Teff and red Teff were statistically significant at a
probability of 1%. The spatial correlation coefficient for white Teff was greater than 0.80
in all of the 153 cases and greater than 0.90 in 146 of 153 cases. Similarly, for mixed and
red Teff the spatial correlation coefficient were greater than 0.80 in all of the cases and
greater than 0.90 in 124 of 136 cases for mixed Teff and in 99 of 105 cases for red Teff .
Therefore, the wholesale Teff price correlation coefficient matrix indicates that there
were very strong linkages among the prices across the markets for the three differenttypes of Teff .
For white Teff and mixed Teff , it was observed that Ambo, Debre Markos and Jimma have
strong price correlation (between 0.80 and 0.90) with Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa. A
Similar result is also observed for the other major towns (see Annex 3-Annex 5 for
details).
