This study examines the impact of receiving training on wheat productivity using 837 sample farm households in Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. It employed Propensity score matching (PSM) technique since it is an increasingly utilized standard approach for evaluating impacts using observational data. And the study revealed that receiving training on wheat during the farming season appears to significantly increase productivity on the average by 28 to 36% for farm households in the study area. Thus, the study recommends that giving training on wheat during the farming season could be an effective strategy to enhance productivity and, thereby, production that contributes a lot to the improvement of the livelihood of wheat farmers.
