Tsimbla (Tigrinya: ጽምብላ) is a woreda in Tigray Region, Ethiopia. Part of the Semien Mi'irabawi Zone, Tsimbla has been newly created from the earlier Asgede Tsimbla woreda in 2020. The administrative center of this woreda is Inda Aba Guna; other towns in Tsimbla include Debre Abbay. Landmarks include the monastery of Debre Abbay.
History
Tsimbla was selected by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in 2004 as an area for voluntary resettlement for farmers from overpopulated areas. Along with Tsegede and Asgede, Tsimbla welcomed that year a total of 24,000 households (around 120,000 people).[1]
Demographics
In the 2007 Census conducted by the Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia (CSA), the majority of the inhabitants said they practiced Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, with 97.51% reporting that as their religion, while 2.47% of the population were Muslim.[2]
Agriculture
A sample enumeration performed by the CSA in 2001 interviewed 21,495 farmers in this woreda and in Asgede, who held an average of 1.27 hectares of land. Of the 27,406 hectares of private land surveyed, 89% was under cultivation, 2.5% pasture, 7% fallow, one hectare in woodland, and 2% was devoted to other uses. For the land under cultivation, 80% was planted in cereals, 2% in pulses, 6% in oilseeds, 0.4% in vegetables, and none in root crops. A total of 6 hectares was planted in fruit trees, while 13 hectares were planted in gesho. 88% of the farmers both raised crops and livestock, while 8.5% only grew crops and 3% only raised livestock. Land tenure in this woreda is distributed amongst 86% owning their land, and 14% renting; none were reported as holding their land under other forms of tenure.[3]
