Benin, S.Ulimwengu, J.Matchaya, Greenwell C.Makombe, T.Lorka, M.Vodounhessi, A.Tefera, W.[Mutual accountability in CAADP [Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme] and agricultural transformation]Mutual accountability in CAADP [Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme] and agricultural transformation

This paper sets out to analyses and present trends in investments in agriculture in the SADC region. In pursuing this goal the paper empirically highlights the importance of disaggregating expenditure data when examining its links to measures of productivity and poverty. This is important because...


Matchaya, Greenwell C.Chilonda, PiusNhlengethwa, Sibusiso[The nature of public agricultural spending in southern Africa]The nature of public agricultural spending in southern Africa

Southern Africa faces acute water scarcity challenges due to drought recurrence, degradation of surface water resources, and the increasing demand of water from agriculture, which has to meet the growing food demands of an increasing population. These stressors require innovative solutions that e...


Matchaya, Greenwell C.Nhamo, LuxonNhlengethwa, SibusisoNhemachena, Charles[An overview of water markets in southern Africa: an option for water management in times of scarcity]An overview of water markets in southern Africa: an option for water management in times of scarcity

Malawi has experienced a forward shift in its demand for Irish potato (Solanum tuberosum) consumption. Given limited resources at farmers' disposal, meeting the growing demand will require farmers to follow the efficient path of the farm production resources. This paper, therefore, is an attempt ...


Assa, M.M.Edriss, A.K.Matchaya, Greenwell C.[Cost efficiency, Morishima, Allen-Uzawa and cross-price elasticities among Irish potato farmers in Dedza District, Malawi]Cost efficiency, Morishima, Allen-Uzawa and cross-price elasticities among Irish potato farmers in Dedza District, Malawi

This paper examines food insecurity in Malawi. Conceiving food security as tridimensional, it is shown using Quantile, logistic, and OLS regressions that food security in Malawi is a function of both supply and demand factors. Specifically, food security as proxied by dietary diversity, reported ...


Matchaya, Greenwell C.Chilonda, Pius[Estimating effects of constraints on food security in Malawi: policy lessons from regressions quantiles]Estimating effects of constraints on food security in Malawi: policy lessons from regressions quantiles

The purposes of this research were to measure the profit efficiency of sample Irish potato farms and subsequently to explore determinants of profit inefficiency in the Dedza district of Malawi. Flexible Stochastic Profit Frontier Analysis was used to measure profit efficiency. Farmers from 200 ra...


Assa, M.M.Edriss, A.K.Matchaya, Greenwell C.[Unexploited profit among smallholder farmers in central Malawi: what are the sources?]Unexploited profit among smallholder farmers in central Malawi: what are the sources?

Reliance on rainfall for agriculture and increased climate change and variability pose growing production risks in developing countries. Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa is dominated by smallholder farmers who depend mainly on rain-fed agriculture, putting food security at both household and nat...


Nhamo, LuxonMatchaya, Greenwell C.Nhemachena, CharlesKoppen, Barbara C.M. van[The impact of investment in smallholder irrigation schemes on irrigation expansion and crop productivity in Malawi]The impact of investment in smallholder irrigation schemes on irrigation expansion and crop productivity in Malawi

The discourse on the need for water, energy, and food security has dominated the development agenda of southern African countries, centred on improving livelihoods, building resilience, and regional integration. About 60% of the population in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) live...

This paper examines food insecurity in Malawi. Conceiving food security as tri-dimensional, it is shown using Quantile, logistic, and OLS regressions that food security in Malawi is a function of both supply and demand factors.

This paper examines the impact of government sectoral expenditure on economic growth in Malawi. Using time series data from 1980 to 2007, cointegration analysis in the context of an error correction model was employed to estimate the growth effects of government expenditures in agriculture, educa...
