Food Markets, Policy, and Technology:  The Case of Honduran Dry Beans
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Martel,   Pedro V.; Bernsten,   Richard H.; Weber,   Michael T.
To identify constraints and options to increase bean subsector’s productivity, 239 farmers and 57 city traders were surveyed, and a rapid appraisal of the El Salvadorian market was conducted. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, logistic analysis, and linear regression analysis. This research shows that farmers' socioeconomic characteristics, production environments, and institutional factors all affect the varietal adoption process.

Access to Land, and Poverty Reduction in Rural Zambia: Connecting the Policy Issues
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Zulu,   Ballard; Kajoba,   Gear; Weber,   Michael T.
It might be considered unlikely that inadequate access to                         land would be one of                         the major causes of rural poverty in Zambia. However,                         evidence presented in this paper                         shows that economically viable arable land is not in great                         abundance in Zambia after                         considering the current situation with respect to access to                         road infrastructure and access to                         services and markets. In fact, access to land is already a                         major problem for large segments of                         the rural population in Zambia. Moreover, depending of future...

A Diagnostic Perspective Assessment of the Production and Marketing System for Mangoes in the Eastern Caribbean
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Hrapsky,   Alan; Weber,   Michael T.; Riley,   Harold.
The objective of this research was to provide USAID with a diagnostic-prescriptive  assessment of the mango commodity system that would be useful in the design and management of  USAID’s project portfolio. A secondary objective was to demonstrate how a market-guided food  systems approach could be applied to a particular commodity, thus facilitating coordination of  vertical stages in the agricultural production and marketing system. The food systems approach  begins with identification of consumer requirements in terms of product specifications and volume  flows, examines the production changes necessary to achieve these requirements, then  systematically diagnoses constraints at each stage in the production/marketing chain, and  prescribes realistic...

This paper summarizes and synthesizes across the results of a set of country studies on the effects of prime-age adult mortality on rural households in Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, and Zambia. Each study is based on large representative rural household surveys. These findings have implications for the design of efforts to mitigate some of the most important effects of rural adult mortality, and for key development policies and priorities.

Using Empirical Information in the Era of HIV/AIDS to Inform Mitigation and Rural Development Strategies: Selected Results from African Country Studies
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mather,   David; Donovan,   Cynthia; Jayne,   Thomas S.; Weber,   Michael T.
This paper summarizes empirical results from a synthesis of a set of country studies  undertaken by Michigan State University and partner institutions in five African countries, each  of which is based upon large-scale rural household surveys. The results demonstrate that the  post-death land/labor ratios and income of rural households directly affected by prime-age adult  mortality are more heterogeneous than implied by some of the literature and discussion among development practitioners.

Changements dans l’allocation des terres, la production et la taille des exploitations dans le secteur des petits exploitants rwandais sur la période 1984/1990 à 2002
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Mpyisi,   Edson; Weber,   Michael T.; Shingiro,   Emmanuel; Loveridge,   Scott.
There have been major shifts/changes in land use patterns in Rwanda over the past  twelve years. A few striking observations include: As a percentage of total farmland, cultivated  land increased. The increase in cultivated land occurred at the expense of pasture and fallow  and woodlot. The share of pasture and fallow decreased from 22% in 1990 to 14% in 2002 and  woodlot decreased from 11% in 1990 to 7% in 2002. This trend of increasing cultivated land is  apparent from the mid-eighties to today. These observations imply that land is being farmed much  more intensively without much time to fallow and allow the soil to rejuvenate. Pasture and  woodlot are also being cut down at the expense of cultivation. This has important potential  implications for...

SMALLHOLDER INCOME AND LAND DISTRIBUTION IN AFRICA: IMPLICATIONS FOR POVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIES
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Yamano,   Takashi; Weber,   Michael T.; Tschirley,   David L.; Benfica,   Rui M.S.; Neven,   David; Chapoto,   Antony; Zulu,   Ballard.
This paper provides a micro-level foundation for discussions of income and asset allocation within the smallholder sector in Eastern and Southern Africa, and explores the implications of these findings for rural growth and poverty alleviation strategies in the region.  Results are drawn from nationally-representative household surveys in five countries between 1990 and 2000:  Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Mozambique, and Zambia.  The paper shows that farm sizes in most of Africa are declining over time; that farm sizes are declining at a faster rate for households at the low end of the land size distribution; that Gini coefficient measures indicate that farm sizes within the small-farm sectors are generally more inequitably distributed than in Asia and Latin...

Evaluating the Impact on Market Performance of Investments in Market Information Systems: Methodological Challenges
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Staatz,   John M.; Kizito,   Andrew M.; Weber,   Michael T.; Dembele,   Niama Nango.
Evaluating the impact on market performance of investments in agricultural market information systems (MIS) face several methodological challenges.  These fall into two broad categories:  (a) defining the dimensions of market performance to measure (which is a function of whom the MIS is designed to serve) and identifying reliable indicators of those performance dimensions, and (b) identifying the causal effects of the MIS.  The determination of causal effects in turn requires establishing a credible baseline, measuring “treatment effects” (i.e., the effects on economic behavior of receiving improved information from an MIS), dealing with problems of endogenous placement of treatment, and interpreting the validity of stakeholders’ statements and...

Over the last ten years, international donors and African governments have singled out  “inappropriate policies” as a major factor influencing the poor performance of the agricultural  sector and the chronic problem of human hunger. Faced with increasing budget deficits, declining  export earnings, and diminishing access to sources of capital, African governments, as a  condition for receiving debt relief, have been compelled to implement macroeconomic and sectoral  policy reforms - structural adjustments - aimed at rectifying the disincentive policies and  improving the external and domestic public accounts. The reorientation of reforms in the  agricultural sector has centered on improving agricultural incentives through liberalization of  input and...

Fostering Agricultural Market Development in Zambia.
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tembo,   Gelson; Chapoto,   Antony; Jayne,   Thomas S.; Weber,   Michael T.
The availability, access and affordability of food is a highly politicized issue throughout the world. In much of southern Africa, there is a widespread view that governments are responsible for ensuring that their populations have reliable access to food. Zambia, like most countries in Southern Africa, is vigorously pursuing continued direct public sector involvement and protectionist measures in the maize marketing sector. Since 1995, the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) and more recently, subsidies through the Fertilizer Support Program (FSP), have been the major instruments of government policy. While in some respects current operations undertaken by the government are similar to those adopted at independence, there are some noteworthy changes. Specifically,...

Results are drawn from nationally-representative household surveys in five countries between 1990 and 2000: Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Mozambique, and Zambia. The paper addresses five major points: (1) why geographically-based poverty reduction or targeting strategies-e.g., focusing on marginal areas-is likely to miss a significant share of the poor in any particular country regardless of targeting efficiency in these areas; (2) why current enthusiasm for community-driven development approaches...

The report also assesses the potential to use "self-targeted commodities" to improve vulnerable groups access to food though market development strategies and food aid programs. While much research has been devoted to understanding how producers and traders would respond to reform of staple food markets, relatively little is known about the potential or actual responses by consumers. The report presents recent findings from six household-level surveys in urban areas of Zimbabwe, Kenya, Zambia, and Mozambique between 1991 and 1994. Secondary data from South Africa and Malawi are also presented where...

More effective policies are needed to improve access and secure rights to land  and other natural resources for various stakeholders, particularly smallholder  farmers. Service delivery at all levels of governance needs to be restructured and strengthened in order to promote and improve economic development and management of natural resources in both open and protected areas. New strategies are needed for protecting and developing natural resource areas based on appropriate resource management systems that promote broad-based participation and sharing of benefits, and offer potential for more effective  community-based natural resource management. Improvements are needed in natural resource policy and law review processes in order to take better advantage...

This paper describes the different food policy courses pursued in recent years by four countries in Eastern and Southern Africa, and documents their differential effects on farmer and consumer behavior. Results are based primarily on a survey and synthesis of recent analysis. The paper highlights lessons learned from the different policy paths pursued in each country, and thus provides insights into the costs and benefits of alternative strategies for promoting national food security and enhancing producer and consumer options.

PRIME-AGE ADULT MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY IN RURAL RWANDA:   WHICH HOUSEHOLDS ARE AFFECTED AND WHAT ARE THEIR STRATEGIES FOR ADJUSTMENT?
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Donovan,   Cynthia; Bailey,   Linda; Mpyisi,   Edson; Weber,   Michael T.
In Rwanda for the past decade, rural households have lived with civil unrest and genocide, changing land laws, large population flows both into and out of the country, and climatic threats with droughts and floods.  The illness and untimely death of prime age adults from a number of health problems (increasingly HIV/AIDS) adds to the stress of these households and has lasting effects on the ability of households to survive.  In this research, the authors use household and member level survey data to increase understanding about what is happening in households with such shocks and how they may be different from other Rwandan rural households.   This research finds that households affected by adult illness and death strive to maintain their agricultural...

Market-Oriented Strategies to Improve Household Access to Food: Experience from Sub-Saharan Africa

Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Tschirley,   David L.; Staatz,   John M.; Shaffer,   James D.; Weber,   Michael T.; Chisvo,   Munhamo; Mukumbu,   Mulinge.
The objectives of this report are to identify market-oriented strategies to alleviate both chronic and transitory food insecurity, and to examine the interactions between short-run targeting mechanisms and longer-run strategies designed to alleviate the chronic causes of inadequate access to food. The main premise of the report is that sustained improvements in household access to food in Sub-Saharan Africa require the development of more reliable food and input markets that (a) create incentives to adopt cost-reducing investments at various stages in the food system; and (b) offer incentives for rural households to shift from a subsistence-oriented pattern of production and consumption to more productive systems based on specialization and gains from...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Goetz,   Stephan J.; Weber,   Michael T.
In market-oriented economies, agricultural markets and marketing  functions become increasingly important as the food system evolves. This paper  focuses on how selected dimensions of markets and marketing functions can be  studied and evaluated in Third World settings.  The specific purpose of this  paper is to review fundamental price and related market analysis techniques  which are and can be used in developing country food system applications. In so  doing the objective is also to focus on identifying food system problems,  techniques for improved interpretation of price analysis results and means of  dealing with the all too common problem of data limitations. A second purpose  of this paper is to serve as a "Training Manual" to accompany "MSTAT."

Natural resource use, including land, and rural population location is an   important topic for Zambia's development strategy. Among other efforts, the   Government of Zambia (GRZ) has designated 22% of total land area, as Game   Management Areas (GMAs) for human settlements and wildlife conservation.   Other GRZ programmes seek to improve food security and agricultural   productivity, including the use and improvement of conservation farming   techniques. GRZ is currently reviewing policies in the agricultural, forestry,   fisheries, wildlife and land sectors. Research in these fields has much to  contribute to effective management of MAs, increased agricultural productivity and improved welfare, especially for the rural population.

1) Maize prices are rising rapidly in 2008 and are fast approaching import parity levels. 2) Maize traders, millers and farmers all agree that Zambia will likely require imports by early 2009 in order to avoid domestic maize supply shortages. 3) Official food balance sheets appear to have underestimated the demand for maize this year. They may also have slightly overestimated the size of the 2007/08 maize crop. Hence the slow government recognition of the need for maize imports. 4) As of late September 2008, neither the Government of Zambia (GRZ) nor the private sector have arranged to import maize from South Africa. Trade sources suggest informal imports from Tanzania are helping to relieve the likely shortfall. 5) Zambian policy makers face a delicate...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Jayne,   Thomas S.; Zulu,   Ballard; Kajoba,   Gear; Weber,   Michael T.
Key Policy Message: - Despite having relatively low population densities, inadequate access to land is one of the major causes of rural poverty in Zambia. - The apparent paradox of inadequate access to land for many rural households in a country of low population density is partially reconciled when taking into account that economically viable arable land requires at least some degree of access to basic services, water, road infrastructure, and markets. The basic public investments to make settlement economically viable have yet been made in many areas of Zambia. - Depending of future land allocation policy, access to good quality land with a market potential may become increasingly beyond the reach of many small-scale farm households, making it more...

Getting the food and agriculture system moving faster is crucial for structural transformation and poverty reduction in Africa.   This requires investing in basic productive and market infrastructure, and expanding appropriate research, knowledge, and technology for increased productivity at all stages of the agricultural commodity chains. The advent of the World Wide Web and steady reductions in the cost and increases in the speed of Internet services in Africa are changing the way we must think about the development, storage, and dissemination of policy analysis and training materials, which are crucial inputs for agricultural development.  Yet, much remains to be done to harness these information communication technology tools more effectively to help...
