Abstract: Cluster farming is a new approach that began in Ethiopia in 2015 to shift smallholder farmers' production from subsistence to a commercial system. Improving income, increasing exports, ensuring food quality and affordability, reducing reliance on imports and developing the domestic market; expanding industries, and creating off-farm employment opportunities are the primary objectives of cluster commercial farms.
