seven different agro-ecological zones were delineated. The spatial distribution of these zones is show in figure 2. The spatial show in figure 2. The spatial extent of the agro-ecological zones are given in table 2. Zones I to V are identified as arable zones with decreasing level of potential for agricultural development. The arable land area in the district can be as much as 187,640 ha. Agro-ecological zone I is the most potential zone for crop production with possibility of three crops a year. It occupies 38,190 ha of arable land. Zone II is the second important zone with potentials for two crops a year. It occupies 59,660 ha of the arable area. Zone VI is non-arable zone and has potentials for grazing and forestry uses; while zone VII, classifieds as river bed, has very limited potential for vegetation and bio-mass production.
