This study is aimed to examine the major socio-economic determinant factors of food shortage problems in Simada District, Amhara national regional state, Ethiopia. Factor analysis and multiple regression as path analysis models were employed as the major methodologies of the study in order to identify the major determinants of Food Shortage Problems along with the direction and strength of path coefficients. The outcome of the study showed that Agricultural Income (X_7) is highly influenced by Landholding Associated Issues (B =.317, P <.01), Age Structure (B=.277, P <.01), and Own Landholding and Sharecropping Associated Issues (B =.267, p<.O1). Non-Agricultural Incomes (X_6) is influenced by Own Landholding and Sharecropping Associated Issues (B= -.257, P <.01) stronger than it is influenced by Information Access and Contribution to the Sharecropping Land (B=.158, p<.1). Food Expenditures (X_8) is strongly influenced by Agricultural Incomes (B=.948, P<.01). Food Shortage Problems (Y_1) is directly influenced by Non-Agricultural Incomes (B=-.400, p<.O1), Age Structure (B=- .175, P<.05), Agricultural Incomes (B = - .540, P <.01), and Food Expenditures (B=.313, P<.01). The final findings of the study showed that 58% of the total variations of the Food Shortage Problems (Y_1) is accounted for by the socio-economic factors found as significant factors with different path coefficients and probability levels. Thus, socio-economic factors play significant role in causing and exacerbating food shortage problems along with other natural, political, and cultural related factors that share 42% of its variance.
