  "description": "<p>Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) are widely<br>\nrecognized for their contribution to economic<br>\ngrowth, employment and inclusive economic<br>\ndevelopment. However, the seasonality and risk<br>\nof agriculture significantly hurt the development<br>\nof agricultural enterprises. Evidence from Ethiopia<br>\nshowed that the relative performance of agricultural<br>\nMSEs are very limited in job creation and<br>\ngrowth. As a result, this study aimed to analyze<br>\nthe growth of agricultural MSEs in North Wollo<br>\nZone, Ethiopia. The study found that shortage of<br>\nworking capital, insufficient loans, increased input<br>\nprices, lack of adequate and reliable input supply,<br>\nand absence of sustainable government support<br>\nare perceived as the major challenges of MSEs in<br>\nthe study area. The results of a Multiple regression<br>\nmodel revealed that enterprise manager education,<br>\nnumber of employees, number of training,<br>\ncredit use, record keeping, and access to reliable<br>\nmarket positively affected the growth of MSEs,<br>\nwhile association ownership structure negatively<br>\naffected it.</p>",
