However, its productivity is far less than other countries due to constraints threatening subsistence farms in Ethiopia. Therefore, potato production practices by smallholder farmers were assessed in Wolaita zone of southern Ethiopia to identify major factors constraining production of the crop. Data were collected at two stages, i.e., at a pilot survey and the time of basic data collection. Descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression, and index ranking were used to analyze the data.
