Abstract: Smallholder farming in many developing countries is characterized by low productivity and low-quality output. Low quality limits the price farmers can command and their potential income. We conduct a series of experiments among maize farmers in Uganda to shed light on the barriers to quality upgrading and to study its potential. We find that […]
Virtual Event: Bundling Crop Insurance and Certified Seeds: A five-year Perspective from Kenya
Abstract: Both crop insurance and stress tolerant seeds have the potential to increase the resilience of smallholder farmers in the face of weather shocks. At the same time uptake remains a challenge. We present the results of two projects that bundle insurance and seeds, either conditionally (free insurance under condition of buying seeds) or […]
Virtual event: Profitability of Climate-Smart Soil Fertility Investment across sub-Saharan Africa
Abstract: Soil fertility investments in sub-Saharan Africa, where budgetary resources are scarce, must be well targeted. Using a causal forest algorithm and an experimental maize trial dataset matched with geocoded rainfall, temperature and soils data, we modelled site-specific, ex ante distributions of yield response and economic returns to fertilizer use. Yield response to fertilizer use […]
