Increasing agricultural production and productivity of one’s country requires fostering the linkage between the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors that are growing in agriculture does not occur without non-agricultural sectors. The major pulse and oil crops production and productivity in the South Omo Zone is very low in relation to the land coverage due to poor improved agricultural technology utilization and low skill on-farm management practices by producers. To solve the major pulse and oil crops production and productivity problems, strong farmers training centers and research extension system are important. The study was conducted in major pulse and oil crop producing districts of South Omo Zone like Debub Ari, Malle, Bena-Tsemay, Hammer, and Dasenech Districts of South Omo Zone. The major pulse and oil crops grown in the area are haricot bean, field pea, mug bean, ground net, sesame, and sunflower.
