Abstract

Grain legumes play a crucial role in Ethiopian agriculture, with a 12.4 % share of the total land cultivated and 9.88% of the total grain production. Faba bean is the most important pulse crop, ranking first among all pulse crops (CSA, 2014) in terms of area allocation (31%), production (35%) and number of farmers involved (52%).
