Abstract
The study was based on secondary data pertaining from 1981 to 2012 aimed at assessing trends, growth and variability in area, production and yield of finger millet in Ethiopia using Compounded Annual Growth Rate, Cuddy Della Vally Index and Decomposition Analysis. The study revealed that finger millet production in Ethiopia is in the winning ground as productivity increase accompanied by decline in instability. The Research and Development towards finger millet production has started paying despite the effort of different actors as yield has increased consistently over the recent years. However, local varieties are still dominant in the farming community and attention should be given in the generating of improved varieties and popularisation of the already available materials in the part of the country where the crop is a staple food like Amhara region mainly West Gojjam and Awi zones.
