dc.description.abstractOver the past few decades, relocation of global flower production from traditional hubs in Western Europe and North America towards developing countries has become recurrent in the global flower industry.The floriculture industry currently employs about 190,000 people throughout the developing world and every year, about 30 billion dollar is generated from the International flower industry. In line with this trend, Ethiopia has emerged as one of the hot destination for flower production. Ethiopian floriculture industry was started in the early 1990's. It created job opportunity for about 25,000 workers .Among these more than 65% of the works are women.The overall objective of this study is to analyze the determinants of women labor productivity in flora-culture industry in Ethiopia Sebeta area. In this research Cross-sectional survey data was conducted with 170 household’s workers using two stage simple random sampling techniques. The researcher used both Primary and secondary data. Descriptive statistics and econometric model were applied for analyzing quantitative data. Cobb-douglas frontier model were employed to analyze determinants of women productivity on flower farm industry. From 15 hypothesized variables, eight variables (Age, Marital, Technology, income, additional income, distance, and training) are identified as statistically significant at 5% level of significant. This research work identify the most relevant factors that improve the productivity of women labors in floriculture industry that any government and nongovernmental stake holders can make use of this determinants to enhance production and productivity of women employees in flora culture industries.en_US
