Community level identification of problem (CLIP) survey were conducted in 2016/17 by the objectives of identifying and prioritizing agricultural production and productivity constraints in Melokoza districts for further study. Sample respondents were purposively selected from highland, lowland and midland agro ecology and the group contains youth, women headed and men headed farmers. To collect data focus group discussion (FGD), transact walk, structured observation and key informant interview were undertaken. Data on constraints of agricultural production and productivity were identified and prioritized. Limited access to improved seed, disease and pests outbreak, soil infertility, problems on post harvest handling and quality storage, lack of improved breeds, animal diseases, limited feed supply in quality and quantity, soil erosion, land degradation, clearing of forest for expansion of farm land (deforestation), poor market linkage and poor management , lack of awareness on value addition practices, lack of access to credit are some identified problems of agricultural production and productivity in the district.
