Última Smallholders' Cost Efficiency in Mozambique: Implications for Improved Maize Seed Adoption AgEcon Zavale, Helder; Mabaya, Edward T.; Christy, Ralph D.. Maize is an important staple in Mozambique. It is also a dominant crop produced by smallholder farmers. However, the actual maize yields, currently estimated at 1.4 tons/ha, fall short of potential yields of 5-6.5 tons/ha. With population growth rate increasingly exceeding agricultural (and maize) productivity growth rate, the government of Mozambique faces a serious problem of food insecurity and poverty alleviation. This study examines cost inefficiency among smallholder maize farmers in Mozambique, and the impact of improved maize seed adoption on cost efficiency. A Translog functional form is used to estimate the frontier cost function. A cost-inefficiency function is used to examine the factors that determine cost inefficiency among farmers....

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/25648 Avaliação dos Impactos dos Programas de Monetização de Trigo e Óleos Comestíveis Não Refinados do Título II em Moçambique, 1997-2007. AgEcon Donovan, Cynthia; Zavale, Helder; Tschirley, David L.. De 1997 a 2007, os programas de monetização do Título II da Agência Americana para o Desenvolvimento Internacional (USAID) venderam mais de $200 milhões de trigo e óleos vegetais não refinados destinados à ajuda alimentar em Moçambique. Este estudo tem três objectivos: 1) documentar as lições aprendidas dos programas passados de monetização em Moçambique; 2) identificar os efeitos desejados e indesejados da monetização em Moçambique; e 3) documentar sucessos indirectos em resultado da utilização da monetização em Moçambique, se os houver. Os programas de monetização em Moçambique implementados até 1997 tiveram efeitos positivos sobre o desenvolvimento de mercados e contribuíram para a segurança alimentar num período crítico. Durante os períodos... Tipo: Report Palavras-chave: Agricultural and Food Policy; Community/Rural/Urban Development; Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety; Food Security and Poverty. Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/97057 Adoption of Improved Maize Seed by Smallholder Farmers in Mozambique AgEcon Zavale, Helder; Mabaya, Edward T.; Christy, Ralph D.. The objective of this paper is to investigate factors influencing the adoption of improved maize seed by smallholder farmers in Mozambique. The data used in this study were obtained from a national random sample of 4,908 smallholder farmers conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in 2002. Using Probit and Logit models, the main factors influencing adoption of improved maize seed were identified. The results of this analysis indicate that fifteen out of twenty five factors are significantly found to be the determining factors influencing the probability of adopting improved maize seed. To increase the likelihood of adopting improved maize seed, policy makers should put more emphasis on improving rural infrastructures and providing...

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/121862 The Evaluation of the Impacts of Title II Monetization Programs for Wheat and Crude Edible Oils in Mozambique, 1997-2007 AgEcon Donovan, Cynthia; Zavale, Helder; Tschirley, David L.. From 1997-2007, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Title II monetization programs sold more than US$200 million of food aid wheat and unrefined vegetable oils in Mozambique. This research has three objectives: 1) to document the lessons learned from past monetization programs in Mozambique; 2) to identify the intended and unintended effects of monetization in Mozambique; and 3) to document indirect successes as a result of using monetization in Mozambique, if any. Monetization programs in Mozambique prior to 1997 demonstrated positive effects on market development and contributed to food security in a critical period. During later periods, the monetized food aid displayed the negative effects of uncoordinated food aid deliveries...

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/56800 Smallholders’ Cost Efficiency in Mozambique: Implications for Improved Maize Seed Adoption AgEcon Zavale, Helder; Mabaya, Edward T.; Christy, Ralph D.. The objectives of this paper are to estimate cost efficiency and investigate factors influencing the cost efficiency of maize-growing smallholders in Mozambique. The data used in this study came from a national random sample of 4,908 smallholder farmers conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in 2002. Stochastic cost frontier and self-selection bias methods are used. The results indicate that twelve out of twenty factors are significantly found to be the determining factors influencing the cost efficiency. To enhance the cost efficiency of producing maize, policy makers should put more emphasis on improving rural infrastructures, providing better education, and providing access to credit.
