Kivonat:Abstract Agricultural sector is the main source of country’s economic development and livelihood for millions of Ethiopians. The sector accounted 32.7 percent of country’s GDP, 66 percent of employment and 87 percent of export.

By applying different measurement methods, it analyzes the productivity and efficiency of country’s dominant crops. The paper evaluates the level of agricultural inputs utilization and output growth.
