The authors map the current cash and food crops supply chains in six African countries, characterizing their markets structures and domestic competition policies. At the farm level, the book studies the constraints faced by small holders to increase productivity and break out of a vicious cycle in which low productivity exacerbates vulnerability to poverty. In a series of micro case studies, the project explores how cooperatives and institutions may help overcome these constraints. This book will appeal to scholars and policy makers seeking instruments to promote increased agriculture productivity, resolve food security issues, and promote agribusiness by diversifying exports and increasing trade and competitiveness.Advances in African Economic, Social and Political Development,2198-7262Development economicsAgricultural economicsSocial structureEqualityEconomic growthEconomic policyDevelopment Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Agricultural Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000Social Structure, Social Inequalityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010Economic Growthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W44000Economic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010Development economics.Agricultural economics.Social structure.Equality.Economic growth.Economic policy.Development Economics.Agricultural Economics.Social Structure, Social Inequality.Economic Growth.Economic Policy.338.16Depetris Chauvin Nicolasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut947005Porto Guidoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMulangu Francisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910255025703321Agricultural Supply Chains, Growth and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa2139621UNINA
