A total of 150 sample poultry producers was interviewed using semi structured questionnaire to collect the data required for the study. Descriptive statistics and probit regression model were used for the analysis of the data gathered. Accordingly, out of the 13 variables entered into the econometric model; household size, level of education, frequency of extension contact, family size, breed type owned and number of poultry owned positively and significantly while distance to nearest market negatively and significantly influence the poultry market participation decision in the study area.
