Mignouna, Djana B.Abdoulaye, TahirouAlene, A.Manyong, Victor M.Dontsop Nguezet, Paul M.Ainembabazi, John H.Asiedu, Robert[A microeconometric analysis of household consumption expenditure determinants in yamgrowing areas of Nigeria and Ghana]A microeconometric analysis of household consumption expenditure determinants in yamgrowing areas of Nigeria and Ghana

Crop residues (CR) have become a limited resource in mixed crop-livestock farms. As a result of the increasing demand and low availability of alternative resources, CR became an essential resource for household activities, especially for livestock keeping; a major livelihood element of smallholde...


Valbuena, DiegoHomann-Kee Tui, SabineErenstein, OlafTeufel, NilsDuncan, Alan J.Abdoulaye, TahirouSwain, B.B.Mekonnen, KinduGermaine, I.Gerard, Bruno G.[Identifying determinants, pressures and trade-offs of crop residue use in mixed smallholder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia]Identifying determinants, pressures and trade-offs of crop residue use in mixed smallholder farms in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia

Accurate identification of crop cultivars is crucial in assessing the impact of crop improvement research outputs. Two commonly used identification approaches, elicitation of variety names from farmer interviews and morphological plant descriptors, have inherent uncertainty levels. Genotyping-by-...


Rabbi, Ismail Y.Kulakow, P.A.Manu-Aduening, J.A.Dankyi, Ansong A.Asibuo, James Y.Parkes, Elizabeth YAbdoulaye, TahirouGirma, GezahegnGedil, Melaku ARamu, PunnaReyes, ByronMaredia, Mywish K.[Tracking crop varieties using genotyping-by-sequencing markers: a case study using cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)]Tracking crop varieties using genotyping-by-sequencing markers: a case study using cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

We use DNA‐fingerprinting to estimate the poverty reduction effect of adoption of improved cassava varieties in Nigeria. We estimate the counterfactual household income distribution of cassava producers by combining farm‐level treatment effects with a market‐level model. Our results suggest that ...


Assfaw Wossen, TesfamichealAlene, A.Abdoulaye, TahirouFeleke, S.Rabbi, Ismail Y.Manyong, Victor M.[Poverty reduction effects of agricultural technology adoption: the case of improved cassava varieties in Nigeria]Poverty reduction effects of agricultural technology adoption: the case of improved cassava varieties in Nigeria

The study compares and contrasts crop residue uses in 3 case study sites along an agricultural intensification gradient in the Sahel-Sudano zone of Niger and Nigeria. It draws on data collected from 24 vii/ages involving 480 households and employs a Tobit model to analyse the determinants of crop...


Akinola, Adebayo A.Abdoulaye, TahirouValbuena, DiegoErenstein, OlafHaileslasie, A.Germaine, I.Shehu, M.Ayedun, B.[Determinants of crop residue use along an intensification gradient in West Africa's Savannah zones]Determinants of crop residue use along an intensification gradient in West Africa's Savannah zones

Cowpea covers the largest area of any grain legume in Africa and is especially important in West Africa where Nigeria and Niger alone account for over 75% of the total cowpea production in the world. Despite successes of international and national cowpea improvement research in the development an...


Manda, J.Alene, A.Hirpa Tufa, A.Abdoulaye, TahirouKamara, A.Olufajo, O.Boukar, O.Manyong, Victor M.[Adoption and ex-post impacts of improved cowpea varieties on productivity and net returns in Nigeria]Adoption and ex-post impacts of improved cowpea varieties on productivity and net returns in Nigeria

Maize is the most important cereal and most widely cultivated staple that plays a key role in the food security of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Although some countries have achieved significant gains in maize productivity, the SSA average yields are far below what could be obtained with improved cul...


Abate, T.Fisher, M.Abdoulaye, TahirouKassie, Girma T.Lunduka, R.Asnake, W.Marenya, P.Asnake, W.[Characteristics of maize cultivars in Africa: how modern are they and how many do smallholder farmers grow?]Characteristics of maize cultivars in Africa: how modern are they and how many do smallholder farmers grow?

To address the problem of the continued deterioration of livelihood and food security in the sub Saharan Africa, the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) through the sub Saharan Africa Challenge Programme (SSA CP) is implementing the Integrated Agricultural Research for Development (I...


Olarinde, L.O.Abdoulaye, TahirouKamara, A.Binam, J.Adekunle, A.[Using a linear discriminant analysis approach of baseline conditions to develop household categories in the Sudan Savanna ( KKM PLS SSA CP ), Nigeria]Using a linear discriminant analysis approach of baseline conditions to develop household categories in the Sudan Savanna ( KKM PLS SSA CP ), Nigeria

This article provides an assessment of the potential impact of operationalizing agricultural innovation platforms (IPs) in the Sudan Savannah zone of Nigeria on adoption of improved maize/legume crop varieties, as measured by the potential outcome approach. The results show that, if the whole pop...


Binam, Joachim N.Abdoulaye, TahirouOlarinde, L.Kamara, A.Adekunle, A.[Assessing the potential impact of Integrated Agricultural Research for Development (IAR4D) on adoption of improved cereallegume crop varieties in the Sudan Savannah Zone of Nigeria]Assessing the potential impact of Integrated Agricultural Research for Development (IAR4D) on adoption of improved cereallegume crop varieties in the Sudan Savannah Zone of Nigeria

The Sub-Saharan Africa Challenge Programme (SSA CP) was initiated with an overall objective of tackling poverty related issues among the rural farmers in sub-Saharan Africa through an innovation focussed approach referred to as Integrated Agricultural Research for development (IAR4D). This paper ...
