| This brief summarizes detailed analysis of the determinants of household crop income in rural Mozambique from 2002 to 2005.

Decreases in crop income are associated with drought. Results demonstrate that there are both public and private investments that can enhance farmers’ ability to increase crop income and avoid losses. Priority investments include: development and dissemination of drought-resistant varieties for maize and cassava, conservation farming, animal traction, market information, access to high-value crops... |

Using household surveys to estimate the impact on the households requires careful attention to detail as well as skilled use of econometric tools. The difficult modeling issues involved in such estimation is not be discussed in this paper. Rather, we... |
