PROGRESS AND PROBLEMS IN PROMOTING HIGH EXTERNAL-INPUT TECHNOLOGIES IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA: THE SASKAWA GLOBAL 2000 EXPERIENCE IN ETHIOPIA AND MOZAMBIQUE
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Howard,   Julie A.; Kelly,   Valerie A.; Maredia,   Mywish K.; Stepanek,   Julie; Crawford,   Eric W.
Critics argue that high external input technologies are too costly for African farmers, and that pilot programs to promote them are economically unsustainable.  This paper assesses Sasakawa-Global 2000 programs in Ethiopia and Mozambique; budgets, yield models and subsector analysis help explain the radically different country results and prognoses for sustainable adoption.

Green Revolution Technology Takes Root in Africa  The Promise and Challenge of the Ministry of Agriculture/SG2000 Experiment with Improved Cereals Technology in Ethiopia
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Howard,   Julie A.; Kelly,   Valerie A.; Stepanek,   Julie; Crawford,   Eric W.; Demeke,   Mulat; Maredia,   Mywish K.
In 1993, the Sasakawa/Global 2000 Program (SG) and the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) began a joint program to demonstrate that substantial productivity increases could be achieved when farmers were given appropriate extension messages and agricultural inputs were delivered on time at reasonable prices. The program provided credit, inputs and extension assistance to participants willing to establish half-hectare demonstration plots on their own land. In 1995, the MOA/SG demonstration program reached more than 3,500 farmers. During the same year MOA launched the New Extension Program (NEP) based on SG principles but managed independently. By 1997, NEP was managing the bulk of the demonstration plots. Although the MOA/SG program is widely considered to be a...

Meeting Food Aid and Price Stabilization Objectives through Local Grain Purchase: A Review of the 1996 Experience
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Amha,   Wolday; Stepanek,   Julie; Jayne,   Thomas S.; Negassa,   Asfaw.
The objective of this paper is to identify factors that can improve the ability of  future local purchase activities to achieve a range of national food policy objectives. This  analysis reviews the design and implementation of 1996 local purchase activities in Ethiopia in  relation to three key policy objectives: price stabilization for farmers; promoting the  development of a competitive and low-cost food marketing system; and procuring food aid resources  in a cost effective manner.

CAN THE MOMENTUM BE SUSTAINED? AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE/SASAKAWA GLOBAL 2000'S EXPERIMENT WITH IMPROVED CEREALS TECHNOLOGY IN ETHIOPIA
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Howard,   Julie A.; Demeke,   Mulat; Kelly,   Valerie A.; Maredia,   Mywish K.; Stepanek,   Julie.
A joint research activity of: Ministry of Economic Development and Cooperation Grain Marketing Research Project/ Michigan State University.  Ethiopia, one of the most densely populated countries in Africa, faces increasing food insecurity unless it can dramatically boost agricultural productivity per hectare.  In 1993, the Sasakawa/Global 2000 Program (SG2000) began work in Ethiopia in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture's Department of Extension and Cooperatives (MOA).  The objective of their joint program was to demonstrate the productivity increases that could be achieved when farmers were provided with appropriate research messages, adequate extension assistance, and agricultural inputs such as improved seed, fertilizers and agrochemicals,...
