This study tried to evaluate the effect of exchange rate volatility on Ethiopian coffee export. Itrnhas employed annual time series data (1980-2015) collected from the country’s differentrninstitutions, namely: National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE), Ministry of Finance and economicrndevelopment (MOFED) and Ethiopian Custom Authority (ECA). The overall objective of thernstudy was to investigate the effect of exchange rate volatility on Ethiopian coffee export. Toolsrnof descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data and understand the dynamics of thernvariables included in the analysis. A Bounds testing and Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL)rnmodel was used to establish the presence of a long run relationship between exchange raternvolatility and coffee export. In order to evaluating exchange rate volatility, the study employedrnthe standard deviation method.rnThe result of the study indicates that coffee export in Ethiopia has negative and significantrnrelationship with exchange rate volatility. Again Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Terms ofrnTrade (TOT) have negative effect on coffee export. On the other hand, Trade openness and realrneffective exchange rate were found to be positively related and significant. From these results,rnthe study recommended that policy makers in the country should try to maintain a well-managedrnstable exchange rate regime. Also, the government could set up a coffee export stabilization fundrnthat would ensure a certain amount of predictability in coffee prices during export. The otherrnmeasures should be related with both export and destination diversification. Other agriculturalrnand industrial products and goods to be exported in addition to coffee to earn foreign currencyrnshould be assessed. The other one is not only diversifying the export items, but also therngovernment needs to diversify export market destinations.
