Synopsis (short abstract) This brief focuses on the profitability of adopting technology for farmers and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and examines the financial sustainability of these investments over time. The evidence presented here can help researchers and policymakers better understand farmer characteristics and favourable conditions for technology adoption, identify constraints inhibiting adoption, and draw lessons to replicate or scale successful policies around technology adoption in agriculture.

Helping Smallholder Producers to Access Markets in Marginalized Areas of Kenya and South Sudan - GTFS RAF 478 ITA 2018

Also available in:

Low agricultural production and low household incomes mean that food security in the northwest of Kenya and the southeastern part of South Sudan continues to be a challenge. With smallholder producers and small and medium-sized entrepreneurs often marginalized and excluded from access to markets at national and regional levels, there was an urgent need to devise innovative approaches to developing and reinforcing efficient business linkages between value chain actors.
