Economic analysis of cow traction farm technology in the Ethiopian highlands
Using a linear programming model based on data from smallholdings in the Ethiopian highlands, this paper evaluates the farm level economic efficiency of cow traction and the traditional oxen-pair. Cow traction farm technology has the potential for increasing the net income of farmers at the existing levels of farmers' resources.
