ABSTRACT: Lupin is a significant legume crops to maintain the sustainable
farming practice. It is important to analyze production and utilization trends
to forecast future trends and create good insights. The CSA published data,
recorded in 2001/02 until 2017/18 cropping seasons, were used for analysis
using Excel and SPSS version 21. Inconsistent trends of Lupin productions were
recorded in Ethiopia, South Africa and Egypt, but increasing in Morocco. In
Ethiopia, the productions were ranged between 48,326 and 443,705.05 quintals. All the recorded
yields were ranged between 3.22 and 16.65 q/ha and declined in 2009/10-2012/13
and increased trends in 2015/16-2017/18 cropping seasons. In Ethiopia, about
95.85% of land coverage and 99.29% of total productions accounted from Amhara
region in 2017/18 cropping season and Benishangul Gumz region is the second
producers. West Gojam and Awi zone are the first and the second, which accounted major productions in the country. Out of the total production, 44.61%, 53.28% and 50.48% in
2009/10, 2011/12 and 2017/18 were utilized as sales respectively. The major
Lupin production, in 2009/10 (Amhara and Benishangul Gumz), 2010/11
(Benishangul Gumz and Oromia) and 2011/12 (Southern Nation Nationalities and
Peoples Regional state), were utilized as household consumption. In Amhara region, the majority of the
productions were utilized for sales in 2009/10, 2011/12 and 2017/18 cropping
seasons. This indicated that the percentage of utilization showed inconsistent
trends and mostly used as sales. In Ethiopia, inconsistent trends of Lupin will be continued in the next
four years.
