Última Adoption et Impact Socio-Esonomique de la semi-mecanisation du Procede de Transformation des Amandes de Karite en Beurre au Nord-Benin AgEcon Ahouandjinou, Morenike Cendrine; Adegbola, Patrice Ygue; Yabi, Jacob Afouda; Adekambi, Souleimane Adeyemi. In order to diversify the sources of incomes of the country, to reduce the financial risks and to improve the farmers’ revenues, the government of Benin decided to promote new agricultural sectors. One of those new sub-sectors is shea tree which is targeted in this study. Due to the painful of certain stages of shea butter processing, the semi-mechanization was initiated. The paper uses data from a stratified random sample of 198 shea butter producers to assess the adoption and impact of this semi-mechanization in North-Benin. A multinomial probit model is estimated to analyze the factors which explain the adoption of each type of technology. A counterfactual approach drawing from a modern evaluation theory is used to evaluate the impact of this...

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/96186 The Impact of Agricultural Technology Adoption on Poverty: The case of NERICA rice varieties in Benin AgEcon Adekambi, Souleimane Adeyemi; Diagne, Aliou; Simtowe, Franklin; Biaou, Gauthier. This study examines the relationship between agricultural technology adoption and poverty with a focus on New Rice varieties for Africa (NERICA). The NERICAs are a group of rice varieties developed by the Africa Rice Centre during the 1990s, resulting from the inter-specific crosses between the Oryza sativa high yielding rice species from Asia and the locally adapted and multiple-stress resistant Oryza glaberrima African rice species. They are believed to provide great hope for African agriculture. Introduced in Benin in 1998, there has been no published analysis on the impact of their adoption by farmers. The paper uses the counterfactual outcomes framework of modern evaluation theory to estimate the Local Average Treatment Effect (LATE) of NERICA...

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/51645 Contribution des innovations technologiques agricoles à l’amélioration de la productivité : cas des variétés améliorées de manioc au Bénin AgEcon Adekambi, Souleimane Adeyemi; Adegbola, Patrice Ygue; Glele, Eugene K.A.; Agli, Charles K.; Tamegnon, Bertin A.. Cassava production in Benin is still characterized by low productivity compared to those of sub regional countries. Improved cassava varieties have been then developed. They have been promised to raise the productivity and thereby the income of farmers. This study examines the relationship between agricultural technology adoption and productivity improvement with focusing on high yield cassava varieties. The data used were collected from 267 randomly selected cassava producers in Benin. The paper uses the counterfactual outcomes framework of modern evaluation theory to estimate the Average Treatment Effect (ATE) of high yield cassava varieties adoption on farm-level average yield. Results indicate that the adoption of high yield cassava varieties... Tipo: Journal Article Palavras-chave: Impact; Adoption; Improved varieties; Cassava; Benin; Crop Production/Industries. Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/95786 Perception paysanne et adoption des biopesticides et/ou extraits botaniques en production maraîchère au Bénin AgEcon Adekambi, Souleimane Adeyemi; Adegbola, Patrice Ygue; Arouna, Aminou. The importance of farmers’ perceptions of characteristics on agricultural innovation adoption has increased these two decades. Empirical studies revealed that in addition to farmers’ socioeconomic characteristics and institutional factors, farmers’ perceptions of the innovation-specific characteristics are particularly important in determining whether or not to adopt them. This study assessed vegetables farmers’ perceptions of botanical extracts and biopesticides compared with current chemical pesticides. It also examined the relationship between farmers’ perceptions and the adoption of botanical extracts and biopesticides. Data were collected from a stratified randomly sample of 198 vegetables farmers selected in vegetable producing zones in Benin and...

In spite of the socio-economic importance of yam, his production is still facing serious constraints as no availability and inadequacy of seed tubers. In order to cope with these constraints, International of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) has developed improved varieties of which we have TDrs’ varieties. Many years after their extension in Benin, it’s then important to evaluate their adoption rate and identify factors which determine this adoption. This study’s aim is to contribute to this evaluation. Data used came from 202 yam producers randomly selected in villages pertain to Borgou and Collines’s regions. The framework developed by Reed et al. (1991) and the counterfactual outcomes framework estimating the Average Treatment Effect have been respectively...

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/95915 Estimation of the Economic Efficiency of Cashew Nut Production in Benin AgEcon Arouna, Aminou; Adegbola, Patrice Ygue; Adekambi, Souleimane Adeyemi. This study contributes to the debate regarding the competitiveness of developing countries in the context of globalization. To take advantage of this trend, developing countries will have to position themselves properly through new policies and efficiency in production. In Benin, new orientation of agricultural policy concerns the diversification of exported products. Therefore, and due to the decrease of international price of cotton which represents the main exported crop, cashew nut, the second exported crop by Benin, becomes more interesting for government policy. The study quantified cashew nut production farmers’ efficiency using a stochastic production frontier and a cost function combined with numerical classification. Primary data were collected...
