Abstract

Agriculture in Ethiopia is highly fragmented according to agroecological zones, with distinctly different cropping patterns across all regions of the country. Agroecological conditions in several of Ethiopia's regions are appropriate for producing various specialties of sesame seeds. These seeds are grown as a cash crop and cultivated for their oil contents. However, many challenges are facing the agricultural sector of the sesame value chain in Ethiopia. Using the cost-benefit approach of the integrated investment appraisal, this project aims to improve the Ethiopian sesame value chain by exploiting its potential in the production of sesame and increasing its share of the world market. This is done by integrating the financial, economic, stakeholder, and risk outcomes of the Ethiopian sesame value chain.
