Agricultural lime value chain efficiency for reducing soil acidity in Ethiopia [PDF]
Soil Security, 2023 Soil acidity is challenging agricultural production in Ethiopia. Above 43% of the farmland is under soil acidity problem and it leads to low crop yields and production losses. Ag-lime is widely considered as an effective remedy for amending soil acidity.
