Groundnut production is important for consumption, income generation and improves food security of smallholder farmers in Western Oromia. Unlike its importance its production has less concern and it's marketing is challenged by the amount produced. The study aimed to analyze determinants of groundnut market supply in western Oromia region, Ethiopia. In order to do this, both primary and secondary data were used to collect qualitative and quantitative data. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select samples of groundnut producers from the study area. Primary data were collected from randomly select 400 sampled groundnut producers through a semi-structured questionnaire. The multiple linear regression models was used to analyze determinants of groundnut market supply. The results of the model indicated that age, sex, educational level, access to credit services, number of livestock owned, land allocated for groundnut production and distance from the nearest market statistically and significantly affected market supply of the groundnut. Therefore, the study forward that government, non-governmental organization and financial institutions should give attention to grant credit, train farmers to properly utilize their land, develop and strengthening infrastructural service like road to improve groundnut production and sales thereby to increase benefits of farmers from the groundnut production in Western Oromia.
花生生产对于奥罗米亚西部小农户的消费、创收及改善粮食安全具有重要意义。尽管其重要性不言而喻，但其生产却较少受到关注，且其销售受到产量的挑战。该研究旨在分析埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚西部地区花生产地市场供应的决定因素。为此，使用了一手和二手数据来收集定性和定量数据。采用多阶段抽样技术从研究区域选取花生种植户样本。通过半结构化问卷从随机抽取的400个花生种植户样本中收集一手数据。运用多元线性回归模型分析花生产地市场供应的决定因素。模型结果表明，年龄、性别、教育水平、获得信贷服务的机会、拥有的牲畜数量、用于花生生产的土地面积以及与最近市场的距离在统计上对花生的市场供应有显著影响。因此，该研究提出政府、非政府组织和金融机构应重视提供信贷，培训农民合理利用土地，发展并加强道路等基础设施服务，以提高花生的生产和销售，从而增加奥罗米亚西部农民从花生生产中获得的收益。
