Fentale is one of the woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Misraq Shewa Zone located in the Great Rift Valley, Fentale is bordered on the southeast by the Arsi Zone, on the southwest by Boset, on the northwest by the Amhara Region, and on the northeast by the Afar Region. The administrative center of Fentale is Metehara; other towns include Haroo Adii.
== Overview ==
Most parts of this woreda range from 900 to 1000 meters above sea level; Mount Fentale (2400 meters) is the highest point. Rivers include the Awash and the Germama; Lake Basaka is an important body of water in this woreda. Points of interest include the Awash National Park in the north. A survey of the land in this woreda shows that 8.2% is arable or cultivable, 7.6% pasture, 28.8% forest, and the remaining 55.4% is considered degraded or otherwise unusable. The Metehara Sugar Cane Plantation covers 100 square kilometers.〔(''Socio-economic profile of East Shewa'' ), Government of Oromia Region (last accessed 1 August 2006).〕 In 11 of the 18 kebeles of Fentale, the predominant agricultural practice is pastoralism. Camels, goats and cattle are the most common livestock; migration to the border areas of Boset woreda for grazing during normal years is common, but in years of low rainfall herdsmen will migrate as far as Negele Arsi. Another source of income is the sale of firewood and charcoal. The vegetation is primarily acacia trees with the bushes and shrubs common to the lowland portions of Ethiopia.〔("Pastoral and Agro Pastoral Livelihood baseline profile - Oromiya (7 Weredas)" ), Pastoral Community Development Project (2004), pp. 14f〕 Fruits and vegetables are important cash crops.〔
Industry in the woreda includes 31 grain mills and the Metehara Sugar Cane Plantation. There were 593 licensed business enterprises in Fentale, which included 85 wholesalers, 294 retailers and 214 service providers of different types. There are also 16 Farmers Associations with 5,318 members but no Farmers Service Cooperatives. Fentale has 33 kilometers of dry-weather and 157 of all-weather road, for an average road density of 162.4 kilometers per 1000 square kilometers. About 100% of the urban, 22% of rural and 38% of the total population has access to drinking water.〔 The primary ethnic groups reported in this woreda included the Karayu and Ittu Oromos.〔"Pastoral and Agro Pastoral", pp. 15, 28〕
