Overview

Randomized trial assesses irrigation improvements to enhance productivity and economic returns in Central Ethiopia, suggesting impactful gains.

Key Points

  • The research aims to quantify the economic benefits of improving small-scale irrigation schemes in Central Ethiopia.
  • Integrated analysis of irrigation performance and economic evaluation of eight major crops.
  • Assessment of conveyance efficiency, water delivery reliability, and irrigation efficiency.
  • Scenario-based simulations for revenue gains from improved irrigation performance.
  • Optimum irrigation usage could yield $83.4 million in seasonal gross revenue and $67.4 million in net benefits.
  • A 25% increase in irrigation performance could boost net irrigated area by 41% and add $5.7–5.9 million annually.
  • All crop benefit-cost ratios exceeded unity, with high-value crops showing maximum profitability.
