_Source:_ Own computation from 2013 CSA large farm survey 1About 299 (excluding Karuturi Global Limited) farms with size 50 ha and above did not respond to the detailed survey, and hence are not included in the analysis. The total area of these farms is 118,000 ha, and of which the total area for those with 1000 ha (24 farms) and above is 57,000 ha.

2A notable omission from the data is Karuturi Global Limited that acquired 100,000 ha of farm land in 2008 in Gambella region, but it is now deemed to be bankrupt.

3Most of the government owned farms are located in Oromia region accounting about 93% the initially transferred land, and note also that of which 83% of the land was acquired before 1991.
