  • Assessing the speed of improved postharvest technology adoption in Tanzania

    Open AccessJulius Manda, Shiferaw Feleke et al.ARTICLETechnological Forecasting and…2024

    The Purdue Improved Crop Storage (PICS) bag is often associated with preventing grain damage from insect infestation, reducing aflatoxin accumulation in stored grain, and avoiding exposure to hazardous storage chemicals. However, limited knowledge is available on the information channels driving the adoption of the technology. Using data from 429 households, this study examines the impacts of social learning and extension services on the speed of…

  • Smallholder farmers' willingness to pay for two‐wheel tractor‐based mechanisation services in Zambia and Zimbabwe

    Open AccessHambulo Ngoma, Paswel P Marenya et al.ARTICLEJournal of International…2023

    Mechanisation is back among top development policy priorities for transforming African smallholder agriculture. Yet previous and ongoing efforts ubiquitously suffer from lack of scientific information on end‐user effective demand for different types of mechanical innovations to inform public investment or business development programmes. We assess smallholder farmers' willingness to pay (WTP) for two‐wheel tractor (2WT)‐based ripping, direct seed…

  • Gender differences in technology adoption and agricultural productivity

    Open AccessAdane Tufa, Arega D Alene et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2022Cited by: 7References: 3

    It is widely recognized that female farmers have considerably less access to productive assets and support services than male farmers. There is limited evidence of gender gaps in technology adoption and agricultural productivity after accounting for the differential access to factors of production between males and females. This study investigates the gender differences in the adoption of improved technologies and agricultural productivity in Mal…

  • The effects of foreign direct investment on youth unemployment in the Southern African Development Community

    Open AccessDadirai Mkombe, Adane Tufa et al.ARTICLEDevelopment Southern Africa2021

    This paper examines the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on youth unemployment in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region using panel data from the World Bank World Development Indicators for the period 1994–2017. Results from the Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS-Parks) technique show that FDI has an insignificant effect on reducing youth unemployment in the SADC region. This could be because the type of FDI in t…

  • The poverty impacts of improved soybean technologies in Malawi

    Adane Tufa, Arega D Alene et al.ARTICLEAgrekon2021

    Improved soybean varieties and agronomic practices have been widely disseminated to smallholder farmers in Malawi over the last 15 years. However, there is no empirical evidence on the welfare impacts of adopting improved soybean technologies. This paper estimated the poverty impacts of adopting improved soybean technologies using data from 1,234 households in six soybean growing districts accounting for over 80% of the total soybean production i…

  • Does cooperative membership increase and accelerate agricultural technology adoption? Empirical evidence from Zambia

    Open AccessJulius Manda, Makaiko G Khonje et al.ARTICLETechnological Forecasting and…2020

    In developing countries, agricultural cooperatives are increasingly being used to promote improved agricultural technologies and alleviate food insecurity and poverty. However, little is known about the role of agricultural cooperatives in accelerating the adoption of improved agricultural technologies. Using a comprehensive balanced household panel and varietal data, this study applied the difference-in-difference model to identify factors affec…

  • The poverty impacts of improved cowpea varieties in Nigeria

    Open AccessJulius Manda, Arega D Alene et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2019Cited by: 4References: 4

    Adoption of improved agricultural technologies has long been recognized as critical for reducing poverty through increased productivity, incomes, and asset accumulation. Using a nationally representative survey data from a sample of over 1500 households in Nigeria, this paper evaluates the impacts of adoption of improved cowpea varieties on income and asset poverty reduction using an endogenous switching regression model. The results showed that …

  • Adoption and welfare impacts of multiple agricultural technologies

    Open AccessMakaiko G Khonje, Julius Manda et al.ARTICLEAgricultural Economics2018

    Using plot level panel data and multinomial endogenous switching regression, this article analyzes the adoption and welfare impacts of multiple agricultural technologies in eastern Zambia. We adapt a multinomial endogenous switching/treatment effect regression framework to correct for selection bias and endogeneity originating from both observed and unobserved heterogeneity. Results indicate that joint adoption of multiple agricultural technologi…
