Coffee yield has good potential in the welfare capabilities of growers in coffee cultivating in Ethiopia in general and particularly in Jimma zone, southwest Ethiopia. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate the factors affecting coffee production in Jimma Zone, Southwest Ethiopia, using cross-sectional field survey data collected from 204 sample coffee growers in the 2023 main growing season. Primary and secondary data were collected in this study. Descriptive and binary logistic regression methods were employed for the data analysis. The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that age, education status, off-farm activity, landholding, livestock holding, soil fertility, fertilizer use, use of credit, access to extension service, provision of improved seed, access to market information, access to infrastructure, distance to the nearest market and distance to the nearest road were the factors significantly influencing coffee production. Overall, the findings indicate that to enhance and sustain coffee yield in the study area, improved coffee varieties and agronomic practices can be better options to expand coffee yield. Therefore, the concerned bodies should pay considerable attention to coffee production, which is a crucial base for driving food security. The summary of coffee production by policymakers could help to achieve improved living standards for the people in the Jimma Zone.
Key words: Coffee production; Ethiopia; Jimma zone; coffee varieties; food security.
