    (WOLKITE UNIVERSITY, 2022-11) ZOMA KEFYALEW
    The study was aimed to identify actors, their role, benefit share, the existing challenges and opportunities of malt barley value chain. The primary data was collected from 146 malt barley producer farmers, 18 traders, 8 consumers and key informants; using structured questioner and scheduled interview. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, value chain analysis methodology and multiple linear regressions. The value chain analysis result indicated direct actors of malt barley value chain in the study area was input suppliers, producers, multipurpose farmers cooperatives, rural collectors, wholesalers, retailers, local Kolo processors and consumers. In the study area there was no coordinated market linkage and governance system. From total marketing margin the highest share was took by local Kolo processors followed by producers and the least marketing margin was took by rural collectors.The finding of the study also indicated, productive labour size of the household, land area allotted for malt barley, access to credit, frequency of extension visit and number of production technology used were variables that significantly affect quantity supply of malt barley. Therefore the study recommended improving financial institutions service, increasing frequency of extension visit, support farmer through training about production technology adoption. In addition, to solve the identified challenges like lack of improved seed, shortage of chemicals for weed control and emerging disease the study suggests strengthening input supplier institutions such as Woreda Agriculture office and multipurpose farmers cooperatives’ for proper supply of inputs.
