Sampling methodology in adoption-and-impact assessment studies of agricultural technology is unique and, in a certain way, complex. Firstly, assessment studies are conducted over time, and, in most cases, a lack of baseline studies hinders the analysis of the adoption process. A methodology that ...

Additional activities of the larger study included problem and opportunity identification and prioritization through "focus groups" for each level of production technology, and for representatives of user groups, i.e. bread/pastry and snack food industries. This information will serve to generate...

In an assessment of the possible benefits to consumers and producers from snap bean research, four different technologies are proposed and their impact analyzed. Benefits are measured by using a welfare analysis and calculating the internal rate of return under different assumptions. The range of...
