This document discusses beef cattle production systems, challenges, and opportunities in Ethiopia. There are three main production systems: traditional, by-product, and Hararge region systems. The traditional system focuses on draft power, milk, and manure rather than beef production. The by-product system uses agricultural byproducts to fatten cattle. The main challenges are unofficial cross-border trade, limited market information, and lack of investment. Opportunities include increasing domestic and export demand, utilization of local breeds, and addressing challenges through improved systems.

Abstract
This review highlights the production systems, challenges and opportunities of beef cattle in Ethiopia. There are three beef cattle production
systems practiced in Ethiopia. These are traditional, by-product and Hararge region production systems. In all of these three types, the output of
the farmers from beef cattle per head is low. So this system must provide the behavioral and adaptability of the farmers change through teaching
and seeing new technology from the neighbor area and foreign countries. Governmental organizations should doing on challenge constraints
(based on beef cattle production and marketing systems) like feed resource, personal challenge, marketing structure, health care and adequate
housing system for beef cattle.
The main challenges for beef cattle production and marketing are unofficial cross border trade dominated by influential personalities
and illegal exporters. Limited access to production and market related information such as production systems, prices, competitors, consumer
preferences and lack of capital investment in assets, equipment and input that would improve quality are the major challenges faced by marketing.
High demand of animals by the local abattoirs, increasing official exports and increasing domestic meat consumption are the opportunities
that will enhance this production and marketing system. As a result of population growth, urbanization and others, the demand for animal
product have substantially increased in Ethiopia. Therefore, it is very critical to effectively exploit the opportunities in the sector and overcoming
limitations in the meat, milk and live animal marketing is to bring sustainable economic development.
