Abstract

Kasye Shitu* and Melaku Almaw*

This study reviewed to identify factor affecting irrigation agriculture in Ethiopia. Although Ethiopia has abundant land for irrigation, only a fraction of its potential land is being utilized due to different factors like environmental, social and climate-related, economic and political, the land issue and rural land laws. Related with irrigation agriculture and rural land issue the government of Ethiopia has no visible document. So, as a recommendation since ,the land policy of Ethiopia was, the result of a centralized, top-down approach rather than being developed through consultations with all concerned parties and it impedes the development of irrigation agriculture in the country, it needs to be resolved quickly in order to develop irrigation agriculture based on the irrigation potential of the country.
