Abstract:
This study evaluated the wheat supply chain along the Liban Jawi to Finfinnee market chain
in central Ethiopia, which is one of Ethiopia's major wheat-producing regions (west showa
zone of Oromia region).The wheat supply chain's performance was evaluated using
descriptive analysis, questionnaires, concentration ratio, Multi Linear Regression model,
structure-conduct-performance, market and profit margins and concept of supply chain
performance. Using descriptive statistics, Structure-Conduct-Performance Model, and
multiple linear regression Model, data analysis revealed disproportionate profit sharing in
the evaluated wheat supply chain, with only 16% going to producers. The processors and the
trader's chain each received 33% and 51% of the profit margin. The major source of
information was in wholesaler, collector and retailer which is 50.8%, 47.3%. 37.9% of
respondents can get market information from personal observation respectively. With CR4 in
Liban jawi 31.05%,Gudar37.19%, Ambo 38.7%, and Finfinnee 42.7%, when the key wheat
markets along the chain were assessed, it was discovered that the markets closest to the
producers were more competitive than those in the middle the study found that technology related renewal of the wheat supply chain was ineffective, focusing on market and social
integration issues. The fragmented wheat supply chain had self-centered enterprises lacking
profit sharing. Wheat producers adopt innovations to enhance sustainability, improve supply
chain performance and improve interpersonal business views
