The major food crops are teff, followed by maize, sorghum, wheat, and barley, along with several oilseed crops. The national average yield of teff, the cereal most favoured by consumers, is only 1.3 metric tons per hectare (mt/ha) in 2011/12, the lowest level of yield among all major cereal crops. Low agricultural productivity can be attributed to smallholder farmers having only limited access to agricultural inputs, financial services, improved production technologies, irrigation and agricultural markets, and, more importantly, to poor land management practices that have often led to severe land degradation.
