Land suitability analysis of Moringa oleifera tree cultivation is important to enhance its product, as the demand for this tree for medicinal values and food sources is increasing worldwide. Therefore, this study aimed to assess suitable land for Moringa oleifera tree cultivation by using the integration of multi-criteria evaluation with geospatial technologies in the Dhidhessa catchment, western Ethiopia. Five parameters, namely: slope, land use and land cover (LULC), soil texture, land surface temperature, and rainfall data, were used in this study. The land suitability evaluation of Moringa oleifera is classified into three classes as highly suitable, moderately suitable, and not suitable. The results revealed that, about 344.4 km2 (12.2%) of the area is categorized into highly suitable, and 2343.7 km2 (83%) is moderately suitable for Moringa tree, whereas, 137.2 km2 (4.9%) is categorized as not suitable for Moringa oleifera tree cultivation. Hence, based on the finding of the study, we suggested that farmers and other stakeholders can cultivate Moringa oleifera trees in the Dhidhessa catchment.
