Nowadays, the development progress of dairy technologies is fast growing on our planet. However, in developing countries, the adoption innovation and experience of dairy technology is at an infant stage. This paper analyzed smallholder producers’ willingness to pay for artificial insemination dairy technology in Adea district, Oromia, Ethiopia. The samples of 384 dairy producers were collected to illustrate their willingness to pay for artificial insemination. These producers were characterized as subsistence and commercializing. Accordingly, 118 producers who were cooperative members produced for the market and on another hand 266 samples were smallholder producers’. Samples were selected from Hidi, Wajitu and Dankaka kebeles of the district. The data were analyzed by Tobit econometric model. The result of the model figured out that training, land ownership, co-operative membership and credit affected dairy producer’s willingness to pay for artificial insemination of dairy technology positively and significantly. Therefore, building the capacity of dairy producers through training by strengthening organizations that provide the inputs such as saving and credit services and primary dairy cooperatives is important to enhance producers’ willingness to pay for artificial insemination dairy technology.
