摘要：This study explores the types of labor-sharing groups and the farmers’acceptable participation in One-into-five labor-groups
in Machakel Woreda (District), Ethiopia. Data were gathered through field observation, focus group discussion, key
informant interview and a questionnaire survey of 135 households. T-test, Chi-square test and binary logistic regression were
used in data analysis. Debo, wonfel and One-into-five labor associations are operating in the study areas. Over 33% of the
farmers participate in wonfel and One-into-five labor teams. Over 82% of the farmers participate in the One-into-five farmer
groupings against their will. Off-farm business, slope of land, farmland size and participation in indigenous labor
significantly increased farmers’ acceptable participation in One-into-five groups. Livestock asset and access to training
significantly decreased farmers’acceptable participation in the One-into-five labor. It is suggested that the sustainable
indigenous labor-sharing associations be promoted instead of focusing on an alien organization that causes doubt in the
community.
