Abstract

The logistic regression analysis was employed to identify determinants of cattle market participation decision by pastoral household in Borana zone. Three kebeles were selected based on secondary data and reviewed literatures. Primary data were collected from 223 sampled pastoralist, 25 traders and 14 brokers. Econometric Approach was used to investigate determinants of pastoralist household cattle market participation. For logistic regression model six explanatory variables used and out of which three significantly affect probability of producers market participation decision. The number of cattle owned, number of camel owned and gender are predictors that significantly affect probability of cattle market participation. Both number of cattle and camel owned per household affects positively the probability of market participation.
