Abstract
Though farmers training center is a important in adoption of new farm technology and improving incomes of farmers through improving agricultural productivity .Even though different FTC have been established in different part of the country, the effectiveness is still low. Provision of training through this center is to important in adoption of new farm technologies to the agricultural and other sub-sector in Ethiopia, but rate of adoption and dissemination of the technology is found to be very minimal. However, there is a wide gap exists between productivity at different farmers training center and farmers’ field. To fill this gap, training is an important tool. The findings of study indicate that the major area of training needs adoption of new farm technology. Another gap identified in this review, even though, in improving income of the farmers through improving agricultural productivity and adoption of new farm technology, however, few and no recent research have been done on farmers training center in different part of Ethiopia. Thus, this review was sought to ascertain importance of farmers training in adoption of new farm technology and put highlight policy implication for further implementation of modern farm technology.

Summary
1.1 Back ground of the study In the development of one country’s agriculture is the most important sector and the most predominant activity of human kind (Fisseha, 2009). Majority of the world countries lead their life by different agricultural activity. Even though agriculture has largest share of GDP and national export, its productivity is not sufficient to well-being the life of the people (Berhanu , Hoekstra and Tegegne, 2006).So the government of the Ethiopia develop different policy and strategy to improve agricultural productivity. Agricultural Development Led Industrialization (ADLI) strategy has been adopted by the government of Ethiopia based on which, the resources necessary for the development of the industry and other growth sectors of the country can be obtained when agricultural productivity reliably grow. The government is implementing a development strategy with the objective of altering the outdated farm practices of the majority of rural farmers and improves their living standards by increasing farm productivity as well as to bring a sustainable economic development in the country (MEDaC, 1999).For the implementation of the development strategy is the establishment of agricultural technical and vocational training colleges which trains the developmental agents and provide their skills & professions to work closely with farmers
