N2 - The findings from the study conducted in three woredas of Southern Ethiopia indicate that smallholder farmers' actual income is significantly lower than the living income benchmark. It was observed that income from crops constitutes a substantial portion of the total income, while income from livestock remains relatively minimal. Furthermore, the study revealed that remittances play a significant role in supplementing household income in certain woredas. The working paper emphasises the existence of a substantial living income gap across all three woredas, underscoring the necessity to improve the actual income of smallholder farmers to narrow this gap.
