This study models the volatility of returns for selected agricultural commodity prices in Ethiopia using the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) approach. GARCH family models, specifically threshold GARCH and exponential GARCH were employed to analyze the time varying volatility of selected agricultural commodities prices from 2010 to 2021. The data analysis results revealed that, out of the GARCH specifications, the EGARCH model with the normal distributional assumption of residuals was a better fit model for the price volatility of "teff" and "red pepper" in which their return series reacted differently to the "good" and "bad" news. The study indicated the existence of a leverage effect, which implied that the "bad" news could have a larger effect on volatility than the "good" news of the same magnitude, and the asymmetric term was statistically significant.
