Examining the impact of human capital and innovation on farm productivity in the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, South Africa
Human capital development is considered the primary source of knowledge and skills in the innovation process. Despite this, there is evidence of a lack of technical and managerial knowledge among emerging sugarcane farmers who are beneficiaries of South Africa’s land reform programme, thus, limiting their full potential in terms of innovation and productivity which is detrimental to their competitiveness. This paper employs the Crépon, Duguet, an…

Impact of outsourced agricultural extension program on smallholder farmers’ net farm income in Msinga, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Effect of households' dietary knowledge on local (ofada) rice consumption in southwest Nigeria
An understanding of dietary knowledge will most likely inform the consumption of healthy foods. Studies have shown that local (ofada) rice is superior to other rice brands in terms of protein and minerals crucial for overall mental and physical well-being. This study, therefore, examined the effect of households' dietary knowledge on the consumption of local (ofada) rice, using a simultaneous equation system that accommodates censored dependent v…
Does fertiliser use improve household welfare? Evidence from Ghana's cocoa industry
This article analyses welfare impacts of fertiliser adoption using data collected from 838 cocoa farm households in the four key cocoa-producing regions in Ghana. Using propensity score matching (PSM), the study indicates that application of fertiliser leads to significant gains in farm yields, farm income, consumption expenditure, consumption expenditure per capita, and value of productive farm assets. The article concludes that cocoa-specific p…

Economic Performance of Small Scale Private Irrigation Scheme: A Case Study of the Tin Mining Ponds of the Jos Plateau, Nigeria
Increasing the crop water productivity in smallholder farming is important since the productivity is often low but has the largest potential to be enhanced. In Nigeria, tomato and pepper forms a very important component of many households’ diet. Their production is mainly a smallholder activity characterized with low productivity compared to the world average. In explaining the low productivities of the farmers, it is necessary to look into the p…

Data were collected from a household level survey of 150 smallholder farmers in the Amathole District Municipality, Easte…
