This study contributed to a better understanding of current gender disparities that can help to ensure future inclusive market development and associated benefits. The analysis is based on empirical evidence from female and male small and medium enterprise (SME) owners along the common bean value...

Enhancing the benefits of value chain development: Addressing gender disparities in Kenyan and Ugandan common bean value chains
This study addresses the need to empirically determine the effect of brokers on the performance of SMEs in the common bean value chains of Uganda and Kenya. Contrary to the conventional portrayal of brokers as scam artists, this analysis determined that broker use benefited SMEs by increasing pro...

This data set builds on a previous project that examined geographic targeting of agricultural research and development based on the coincidence of biophysical and socioeconomic conditions of drought prone crop production (Hyman et al., 2008). The data characterizes the farming systems of John Dix...

Acceptability to farmers of Arachis pintoi (CIAT 1743) was studied in Colombia in order to make an assessment of factors contributing to adoption of this legume. The legume has been promoted mainly in the country's coffee growing regions by CENICAFE, (National Coffee Research Center), CODEGAR (Co...

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is plagued by low productivity and little research is available on the attainable responses and profitability to applied nutrients under variable environments. The objective of this study was to determine the attainable maize grain response to and potential of profitabili...

This data set characterizes dryland systems and cereal and legume crops (Hyman et al., 2016). The data is a subset of a larger data set that characterizes the farming systems of John Dixon’s global farming systems framework and map (Dixon et al., 2001; Barona and Hyman, 2016). The data subset foc...

We use a combination of a statistical model of climatic suitability (Maxent) and the analysis of individual, potentially limiting climate variables. We find that: 1) contrary to expectation, maximum dry season temperatures are projected to become as or more limiting for cocoa as dry season water ...

We discuss here such a regional approach for cocoa in West Africa, where 70 % of global cocoa supply originates. On the basis of a statistical model of relative climatic suitability calibrated on West African cocoa farming areas and average climate projections for the 2030s and 2050s of, respecti...
