Abstract: The study was conducted at Abshige Woreda to analyze the value chain of red pepper and the factors that determine the supply of red pepper to the market. The study has duly focused on the market channel, market participants and performance of red pepper markets. The main determinants of volume of red pepper supply were also analyzed. The data were generated by structured questionnaire, focus group discussions, key informant interviews and field observation focus. This was augmented by secondary data collected from the Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Development, Woreda marketing agency reports and websites. Traders took a total of 61.3% out of the total profit margin. Red pepper producers added 38.7% of the total value of red pepper in the woreda.
