SummaryAlthough agricultural productivity in our region Oromia is improving, still major gaps
in productivity in different when compared with the global output level. (FAO, 2014).This low
characterized by the use of traditional farming implements and practices like usehand-tools for
land tillage, crop harvesting, threshing from thousands of year ago whichoperated by hand
animal power.Mechanization plays a key role in enabling the growth of commercial agri-
operations. Consequently, it determines food availability and accessibility, aswell as food prices
paid by urban and rural poor, thus contributing to increasedhousehold food security.Thus,
mechanization shall contribute in enabling the small holder farmers to timely prepareland,
sowing and harvest their crops as early as possible to cope up with the erratic rainfallcondition
and to save time and labor.This Ayalew __________ agricultural Mechanization project
feasibility study Business plan pictures the viability of mechanized agricultural production
implemented by owner and rentalCombiner harvester service. The rental machineries services
depend it, is the largest sector and the back bone of economy. The Oromia region has also great
potential to Agriculture because of its vast area of fertile land, diverse climate, generally
adequate rain fall and largelabor pool. Despite Oromia has great potential to agriculture, our
agriculture remainedundeveloped. This is due to quite a lot of factors. The largest shares were
low level of mechanization inputs and low level of technologies. Moreover, the greatest source
of farm power was mainly human and animal since dated back 2000 BC (FAO, 2007).
agriculture which had been driven by traditional farming systems that characterized by low
project area.He is working on agriculture farming production mainly by focusing on Wheat crop.
In additionhe provide Combiner harvester services for surround farmers and farmers found in
his neigh boring kebele and woredas to produce additional income by renting Combiner
population, low productivity of food crops due tolow modernization of agriculture. Hence,
mechanization is must to produce more and feedupcoming population.In this case “Ayalewu
________ Agricultural mechanized project” plays a vital role inimproving the farming system
by:- Increase labor productivity:Traditional farming consumes high human and animal power. In
case of mechanization smalllabors can do much job and decreases cost of production. This
means increase in labor productivity by releasing of labor for other sectors of the economy.
farming community to produce agood quality of work, increase production of crops output by
improving soil water infiltrationand air movement in the soil, timeliness of operation, good
cropping intensity and faster turnaround, reduction of crop losses, & increase in the cultivated
area.Reduces hard work of the rural traditional framing :-Farming community had been working
in hard, and harsh, condition. They produce crop that produced by such a condition to fed
the life of rural community pleasant and attractive.1.4.Objective of the ProjectThe main
objective of this project is:- To increase his and others farmer agricultural productivity by
thewest shewazone. The woreda‟s capital,Olonkomiis located sixtysix kilometers west of Addis
Dilbeta. The woreda has a total area of 28613.6hectars with altitudinalrange from 2000–3288
m.a.s.l and also the population of the woreda is 95,021 (Ejersa Lefo woredaReport, 2016).
Hence, the location of the woreda contributes for the rising of the price of crops for the farmers
who are living in the district. So, this location of woreda is motivating the productivity of
farmers in the area and they have obtained urban processed goods and their agricultural
productionsold to urban dwellers. As a result, the relationships between rural and urban areas
are intertwined.As well as, this elevation of the study area is mostly suitable for the production
of teff, wheat, barley,chickpea and grass pea. It implies that, these different sources of crops
are the major sources of income for the households in the woreda.The woreda is bordered in
the south by Elluand Dawo woreda of southwest shewazone which has alength of 35kms
Huluko, in the west by Dendiworeda with 15kms, in the north by 35 kms Jelduworeda. The
woreda has good agro- ecological zones that made unique, among twenty two woreda of west
shewazone. Among the agro- ecological zones, dega comprises 29 percent and woina-dega 71
percent. It indicates that this favorable climatic condition and land features of the woreda
arecomfortable for the diversity of agricultural production and so this woreda is a notable area
by itssurplus agricultural production among twenty two woredas. Therefore, these better
conditions can bea reason why the living condition of households are enhanced in the
woreda .The woreda has 17 rural and 3 urban kebeles .The Woreda has 11 Private clinics, 13
health posts,2 Health center and 3 private rural drug venders in the Woreda. There are 16 first
cycle primaryschools (1-4), 11 second cycle primary schools (5-8) , 1 high school (9-10) and 3
features: 45% plateaus, 43% rugged and 12% mountain are located within this woreda. The
altitude above2000m is accounts for 40 percents of the total woreda. It assumed that the
present land form or relief structure of the Ejersa Lafoworeda is mountains, hills, plains and
other natural phenomenaare the result of geological and climatic events. On the other hand
among the presented landforms, the district has a plain land which is more suitable for mixed
farming activities than highlands. It indicates that, these favorable land forms and climatic
condition are the most importantfactors that affect the living condition of households in the
project area positively.3.3 Soil According to an assessment made on the basic of village records:
28 percent is red soil and 60 percent is black soil. The remaining is covered by yellow soil
accounts for 6 percent and brownsoil for 6 percents. It means that the combination of black
clay soil and alluvial soil has adequatenutrients which are the most important factors in
agricultural production for better crop production. Due to its clay characteristics of soil; it is
sticky and crack during summer and winter respectively. So, it is difficult to use for farming
purposes. But the portion of the alluvial soil isvery important for agricultural production in the
District. Due to the fertility of this soil, thelargest numbers ofhouseholds are residing on it. As a
power unit that used for pulling or pushing agricultural machiner or trailers, for plowing, tilling,
harrowing, planting and similar tasks. This save manpower andmaterial resources and greatly
reduced the burden on farmers. The main service are produceagricultural production by using
mechanized agricultural and provided land tiller tractor throughrental bases for small holder
farmers.The tractor operates with respective accessories known as disk plough and the disk
harrow .Thedisk plough performs the soil tillage/ Digging of deep into the top soil while the disk
harrow willcut and digest the soil practices in to smaller units and make ready for sowing.
