Arsi Zone, Administrative division in Oromia Region, Ethiopia
The Arsi Zone extends across 19,825 square kilometers of Ethiopian territory, encompassing 25 districts with mountains, valleys, and agricultural lands within its boundaries.
The establishment of coffee cultivation in 1912 by Belgian companies marked a significant economic development phase for the Arsi Zone, transforming its agricultural landscape.
The population of Arsi Zone maintains Oromo traditions through local festivals, with Oromiffa serving as the primary language among its nearly 4 million inhabitants.
Asela, the administrative capital of Arsi Zone, functions as the central hub for government services and houses multiple educational institutions, including Arsi University.
The Arsi Mountains National Park, established in 2011, protects the distinctive peaks of Mount Chilalo, Mount Kaka, and Mount Gugu within the zone.
