摘      要：Sesame and groundnut crops are the major oilseed crops produced for exports and local consumptions in *** study attempted to evaluate land suitability for oilseeds crops using Geographic Information Systems(GIS)and multi-criteria evaluation in Diga district of East Wollega zone,western *** support the growing population,sesame and groundnut land suitability evaluations were carried out to ensure the sustainability of agricultural *** data inputs were used,including mainly climate data(temperature and rainfall),topography data(slope),soil data(soil texture,soil depth and soil drainage),and infrastructure data(road and market).In this study,sesame and groundnut land suitability areas were categorized into 4 classes:highly suitable,moderately suitable,marginally suitable,and not *** result revealed that,about 252.1 ha(0.4%)and 113.1 ha(0.2%)were highly suitable for sesame and groundnut *** showed that most parts of the study area were moderately suitable for sesame and groundnut ***,the central and western parts of the study area were highly suitable and moderately suitable for sesame *** study recommended the local communities to utilize the existing potential of the study area for sesame and groundnut ***,decision makers should promote the suitability of the area for both small-and large-scale investment on sesame and groundnut production.
