Women's Control Over Income
Women's Control Over IncomeAfrican Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS)
This document analyzes women's control over household income from various sources like farming, livestock, and wages in Ghana, Mozambique, and Rwanda. The analysis finds that older, more educated women who control land and livestock are more likely to control income. Control over income varies by source and country. Women generally control income from small-scale crops, livestock, and wage/non-farm work. Ensuring women are paid directly, have access to markets and banking, land rights, and interventions to promote gender equality in households and communities can help increase women's control over income from rural economic activities.APRA overview for LPI land conference
The document summarizes the launch event of the Agricultural Policy Research in Africa (APRA) program. APRA is a five-year research program analyzing pathways to agricultural commercialization in Sub-Saharan Africa. It aims to understand the impacts of commercialization on empowering women and girls, reducing poverty and improving food security. The launch event provided an overview of APRA's research methodology, focus countries, and expected outcomes to inform policies promoting equitable agricultural development in Africa.

Marketing plays a vital role in economic growth by acting as an intermediary between production capacity and consumer demand. It stimulates demand, helps discover entrepreneurial talent, and facilitates the transfer of resources. However, economic planners often focus more on production than distribution and marketing. An efficient distribution system is needed to match production resources with consumer needs and purchasing power in order to effectively utilize economic growth.

This document summarizes a study on existing seed supply systems for vegetatively propagated crops like sweet potato in central and eastern Kenya. The study found that three key seed delivery systems exist: research to farmer, research to ministry to farmer, and farmer to farmer exchange. Most farmers currently source their seed from other farmers through informal exchange networks. However, many farmers expressed a need for a more commercialized farmer-to-farmer seed system to improve access to quality seed of improved varieties and address other challenges in the sweet potato value chain. The study recommends strengthening farmers' capacity in seed management, marketing, and linkages to markets to promote a more organized and successful commercial farmer seed system.Inclusive international agricultural value chains: The case of coffee in Ethi...

Integrating Social, Gender and Generational Transformation in Banana Recovery...Independent Science and Partnership Council of the CGIAR
This document summarizes a study on integrating social and gender considerations into strategies for managing banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) in affected communities. It finds that:
1) Plantain production is the main agricultural activity and important for income and food security in the pilot sites, with roles for both men and women that are often complementary.
2) Activities in the plantain production chain are typically divided along gender lines, with some tasks predominantly done by men and others by women.
3) There is high joint decision-making within households on plantain production, but women who earn income from sales have more influence over decisions on how that money is used.USAID Module 2: Rice Case Scene Setter
Niana is a major producer, consumer, and importer of rice. The domestic rice market consists of a price-conscious segment consuming mainly local rice, and a quality-conscious segment consuming mostly imported long-grain white rice. Local production and milling is unable to meet demand due to low and inconsistent yields from smallholder farmers. Relationships between actors in the domestic value chain are characterized by mistrust, opportunism, and a lack of cooperation or knowledge sharing. In contrast, importers and distributors cooperate through established credit terms and information sharing to reliably supply the quality market segment. Overall, the rice sector suffers from low productivity, weak farmer organizations, and a value chain where actors primarily view each other with suspicion rather

Gender and Cash Crops: The Case of Coffee Production in Ethiopia
Women play a critical but disadvantaged role in Ethiopia's coffee production sector. They account for over 40% of agricultural labor but have less decision-making power, access to land, extension services, and inputs. As a result, the plots solely managed by women have lower productivity. Women are mainly involved in harvesting and temporary processing work. They sell smaller amounts of coffee than men and earn less income, which is mostly spent on food and consumption. Policies are needed to improve women's access to education, resources, markets, employment, and technologies to enhance their productivity and participation in the coffee value chain.

Gender and Cash Crops: The Case of Coffee Production in Ethiopia
Women play a critical but disadvantaged role in Ethiopian agriculture and coffee production. While women account for over 40% of agricultural labor, they have less access to assets, inputs, services, markets and credit. In the coffee sector specifically, women have a relatively limited role in decision making regarding land management and crops. They are also less likely to be contacted by agricultural extension agents and use fewer farm inputs. As a result, plots solely managed by women tend to be less productive with smaller size and poorer management. The study recommends policies to improve women's access to education, resources, markets, employment and technologies to enhance their participation and productivity in Ethiopian agriculture and coffee production.

1) The document analyzes the marketing of onions in Bade and Geidam Local Government Areas of Yobe State, Nigeria. It investigates the socioeconomic characteristics of onion traders, determines the profitability of onion marketing, and assesses the marketing efficiency of onion traders.
2) The majority of onion traders were between 25-54 years old, with most having 5-14 years of experience trading onions. Most traders were male and married.
3) Analysis found onion marketing to be profitable for both wholesale and retail traders during peak and off-peak periods. Marketing during off-peak periods was more efficient, with a total efficiency of 1,610.83% compared to 1,577.20%
2017 Global Food Policy Report
This document summarizes the key issues around urbanization and food security discussed in the 2017 Global Food Policy Report. It notes that urbanization is increasing hunger and malnutrition in cities as diets change and the poor face challenges accessing healthy food. Rural-urban linkages are important for development but often broken. The report recommends improving policy coordination between rural and urban areas to enhance linkages and leverage intermediate cities and towns.

Review on onion Value chain Analysis in Ethiopia
The document provides an overview of onion production in Ethiopia and analyzes the onion value chain. It discusses how onion is an important vegetable crop in Ethiopia but productivity is lower than other countries due to limited availability of quality seeds and technologies. The value chain begins with land preparation and includes planting, harvesting, cleaning, and domestic marketing. Understanding the activities and relationships between actors in the chain can help identify inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement. The goal of the analysis is to investigate the current onion value chain in order to understand production, bottlenecks, and how to increase small farmer incomes through a demand-driven approach.

It also seeks to identify factors that enhance or constrain women's participation and determine gender-smart seed models that can transform seed sourcing and encourage adoption of improved varieties. Data will be collected in northern Uganda and Ethiopia on sorghum, groundnuts, beans and chickpeas. Partners from ICRISAT and national agricultural institutions in Uganda and Ethiopia met to
Integrating gender into Kenya’s evolving seed policies
This document summarizes a research project that aims to integrate gender considerations into Kenya's evolving seed policies. The research will examine opportunities and barriers men, women, and youth face in participating in vegetable and potato crop seed systems as Kenya moves toward increased regulation. Through stakeholder consultations, policy reviews, and interviews, the research will identify gender-responsive seed production models and recommendations to make seed guidelines and policies more inclusive. The goal is to ensure women and youth's interests are represented in policy discussions around seed standards and regulations.

Households participating in the smallholder dairy market in rural Ethiopia were found to have improved women's intra-household bargaining position compared to non-participating households. While milk income shifted from women to men in participating households, men returned some of this income to their wives. In a bargaining game, women in participating households proposed keeping less for themselves but expected to receive more from their husbands, while men did the opposite. Overall, the study found market participation was positively associated with women's bargaining power within the household.
Women’s participation in livestock markets in Kenya
The document analyzes women's participation in livestock markets in Kenya. It finds that women's participation differs based on the livestock value chain. Women predominantly participate in production stages of the dairy goat value chain and sales of indigenous eggs. Determinants of women's participation in markets include access to resources like transportation and education. The indigenous egg value chain has the highest level of women's participation and control over income. The study recommends that livestock projects consider species and products that benefit women most.

Why does Gender matter for agricultural productivity in Africa?African Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS)
This document discusses why gender is important for agricultural productivity in Africa. It notes that women make up 30-80% of the agricultural workforce in Africa but face challenges. Estimates show gender gaps in productivity could be reduced by 13-30% by equalizing access to resources. However, current estimates only measure land productivity and do not fully account for women's labor or outputs. The document outlines challenges in accurately measuring gender gaps and proposes recommendations like increasing women's access to labor, higher value crops, and agricultural inputs to improve productivity while empowering women.Empowerment in agricultural value chains: Mixed methods evidence from the Phi...

The role of gender in crop value chains in Ethiopia
Women play a significant role in Ethiopian agriculture but face barriers to fully participating in crop value chains. A gender analysis of crop production found that women's workloads are heavier than men's and they have less control over income and decision-making. It also found divisions of labor vary by crop, region, and wealth, with women typically performing tasks like weeding and men activities like marketing. The analysis recommends interventions support women by addressing imbalances in workloads and benefits, expanding access to inputs, technologies, and markets, and involving women in decision-making.
Gender: gendered technology adoption and household food security in semi arid...
This document summarizes a study on the adoption of agricultural innovations by women smallholder farmers in semi-arid Eastern Kenya. The study found that women robustly adopted "orphaned" or traditional food crops, alone or with male relatives, but were less involved in fruit tree crops. It also found that women invest more labor than men in crops but receive fewer financial rewards. However, non-financial benefits like food provision and social networks provide incentives for women's participation. The results challenge distinctions between "men's crops" and "women's crops". Farmer groups were also found to be an important form of social capital that helps disseminate knowledge and improve food security for women.

- The study examined consumer reactions to rising milk prices in Long Bien district, Hanoi, Vietnam. It surveyed 100 consumers and found that age, career, and household income significantly influenced reaction levels, with younger consumers, less stable jobs, and lower incomes correlating with stronger reactions.
- Most consumers saw milk prices as quite or very high and had neutral satisfaction with prices relative to quality. If prices increased further, most would moderately or strongly react by reducing purchases.
- The factors found to most affect consumer reaction levels were age (younger consumers reacted more strongly), household income (lower incomes correlated with stronger reactions), and career (less stable jobs correlated with stronger reactions).
aa_farming_as_equalslores
This document summarizes 7 case studies that demonstrate the positive impact of supporting women smallholder farmers on women's rights, gender equality, food security, and poverty reduction. It finds that investments work best when they: put women first, analyze and confront unequal power relations, and advance women's rights. However, most donors and institutions fail to prioritize gender equality and women's empowerment in agricultural policies and aid. The report concludes with recommendations for donors to fulfill their commitments to gender equality, such as by increasing the proportion of agricultural assistance targeting women farmers.

Rising Food Prices and Small Farmers Access to Seed
1) The document discusses the impacts of high food prices on small farmers and proposes policy options to improve farmers' access to quality seed. It summarizes research conducted by IFPRI in India, Kenya, and Mali on how village grain markets serve as important sources of seed for crops grown in dry, risky environments.
2) The research found that local traders in grain markets help preserve valuable landrace varieties and provide farmers with well-adapted seed, even after poor harvests. This challenges the view that grain markets are unreliable seed sources.
3) The briefs propose policy options to improve seed availability, reduce costs, and increase information sharing to help farmers in semi-arid areas cope with food price rises
