Diga Leka

Diga Leka was one of the 180 woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. It was separated for Diga and Leka Dulecha woredas. Part of the Misraq Welega Zone, Diga Leka was bordered on the south by an exclave of the Benishangul-Gumuz Region, on the west by the Didessa River which separates it from the Illubabor Zone on the southwest and the Mirab Welega Zone on the west, on the north by Sasiga, on the northeast by Guto Wayu and on the southeast by Jimma Arjo. The administrative center of the woreda was Gatama; other towns in Diga Leka included Arjo Gudetu and Diga.

The landscape of this woreda is rugged, dominated by Mount Botoro Kofo and Mount Boti Duguma. Rivers within the woreda include the Negesso, Jato, Beseka, Abono, Gebo, Medale, Dimtu and Jima. A survey of the land in this woreda shows that 59.7% is arable or cultivable (68% was under annual crops), 23% pasture, 6.1% forest, and the remainder is 11.2%. Khat is one important cash crop. Although coffee is another important cash crop, less than 20 square kilometers are planted in this woreda with this crop.

Industry in the woreda includes 16 grain mills; coal and clay are also present. There were 21 Farmers Associations with 18,590 members and 10 Farmers Service Cooperatives with 89,590 members. Limmu has 89 kilometers of all-weather road, for an average of road density of 70.47 kilometers per 1000 square kilometers. About 15% of the total population has access to drinking water.
