AGRICULTURAL SUPPLY CHAINS GROWTH AND POVERTY I...

This book investigates if and how agricultural market structures and farm constraints affect
the development of dynamic food and cash crop sectors and whether these sectors can contribute
to economic transformation and poverty reduction in Africa. The authors map the current cash
and food crops supply chains in six African countries  characterizing their markets structures
and domestic competition policies. At the farm level  the book studies the constraints faced by
small holders to increase productivity and break out of a vicious cycle in which low
productivity exacerbates vulnerability to poverty. In a series of micro case studies  the
project explores how cooperatives and institutions may help overcome these constraints. This
book will appeal to scholars and policy makers seeking instruments to promote increased
agriculture productivity  resolve food security issues  and promote agribusiness by
diversifying exports and increasing trade and competitiveness.
