  • A Bayesian triple-hurdle model of maize market participation in Zambia

    John N Ng’ombe, Able Bwalya et al.ARTICLEAgrekon2025

    Smallholder participation in agricultural markets is vital for rural development, yet various constraints impede potential gains. We study the subject and make two contributions. First, we introduce a Bayesian triple-hurdle model as an alternative to the frequentist approach, providing researchers with a flexible approach. Second, we analyze determinants of market participation in Zambia, focusing on maize – a staple crop using a Bayesian triple-…

  • Gender Differentiated Impacts of Rural Advisory Services on Household and Child Nutrition

    Open AccessKwabena Nyarko Addai, Md Sayed Iftekhar et al.ARTICLESocial Indicators Research2025References: 5

    Gender-based inequalities in agriculture hinder the sector's ability to provide nutritious diets and improve nutritional outcomes, as rural advisory services (RAS) have not equally benefited male and female farmers. We causally decompose household food and child nutrition outcomes across male- and female-headed households based on their access to RAS. We use data from the World Bank's Integrated Household Panel Survey in Malawi for the period 201…

  • Agricultural services and rural household welfare

    Open AccessBright O Asante, Stephen Prah et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2025References: 48

    Purpose This paper aimed to examine the impacts of agricultural services on welfare of rural farmers in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach Using data from 1431 rural maize farmers, we employ multinomial endogenous switching regression and multivalued inverse probability weighted regression adjustment to assess the impacts. Findings Results show that 19.8%, 9.7% and 3.42% of farmers adopted solely irrigation, extension and mechanization, respectiv…

  • Does dairy cooperative membership improve food and nutrition security among rural farmers? A micro‐perspective from Zambia

    Open AccessJohn N Ng’ombe, Thomson Kalinda et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Public and Cooperative…2024Cited by: 2

    Although research on the impacts of agricultural cooperatives is growing, studies on the effects of dairy cooperative membership on food security in developing countries remain scarce. This article follows the same line of inquiry to determine the impact of dairy cooperative membership on food and nutrition security (household dietary diversity score and food insecurity experience score) using data from 515 rural dairy farmers in Zambia. To accou…

  • Participation in farmer organizations and adoption of farming technologies among rice farmers in Ghana

    Open AccessKwabena Nyarko Addai, Omphile Temoso et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2022

    Purpose The authors examine the factors influencing membership in farmer organizations (FO) and their effects on the decision to adopt farm technologies by rice farmers in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a farm survey of 900 households from Northern Ghana and a recursive bivariate probit (RBP) model that accounts for selection bias and endogeneity. Findings The results indicate that the household head’s decision to adopt machin…

  • Impact of improved rice varieties on household food security in Northern Ghana

    Open AccessWencong Lu, Kwabena Nyarko Addai et al.ARTICLEJournal of International…2021

    This study determines the impact of the adoption of improved rice varieties on household food security using farm‐level data from 900 households in Northern Ghana. We employed the doubly robust inverse probability weighted regression adjustment procedure complementary with a propensity score matching approach on two indicators of food security (household dietary diversity score and subjective food security). Across all the various estimation proc…

  • Does the use of multiple agricultural technologies affect household welfare? Evidence from Northern Ghana

    Wencong Lu, Kwabena Nyarko Addai et al.ARTICLEAgrekon2021

    Agricultural intensification has been encouraged through the promotion of various agricultural technologies, but the synergies between different technologies have not been fully explored among various specific crops. Using the multinomial endogenous switching regression model complemented with the multivalued inverse probability regression model, this study determines the impacts of the adoption of combinations of chemical fertiliser, improved ri…
