This study was initiated to identify beef cattle value chain actors, mapping, and their activities and roles in beef cattle value chain in the study areas. Primary data were collected from randomly selected beef cattle producers, input suppliers and traders at various levels using pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. Besides, data were collected through Focused Group Discussions and key Informant interviews to substantiate the survey data. And secondary data was collected from published and unpublished sources. Descriptive result indicated that, input suppliers, cattle fatteners, brokers, traders, hotel and restaurant owners, and consumers were the major beef cattle value chain actors identified in the study areas. High broker interference, illegal traders, low producers price, weak linkage, lack of access to adequate institutional services, and lack of market infrastructure were observed among beef cattle value chain actors in the study areas. This study suggests the concerned stakeholders at different levels should have to give attention and policy support for the strengthening and development of beef cattle cooperative marketing, strengthen the linkage among chain actors, adding value at each value chain stage, and improving supportive institutions to improve beef cattle productivity and management practices are crucial in the study areas. Revising beef cattle marketing rules and regulations and taking legal action on illegal traders are important in the study areas.
