Rigorous statistical analyses are carried out by using valuable household data of rice farmers. The book is actually sequel to the two earlier books on the same subject published by Springer and edited by K. Otsuka and D.F. Larson, An African Green Revolution published in 2013 and In Pursuit of an African Green Revolution in 2016. The main message of the first book was that rice is the most promising cereal crop in SSA because of the high transferability of Asian rice technology, whereas that of the second book was that rice cultivation training programs are effective in significantly increasing rice yield in SSA. This third book has wider coverage in terms of topics, study periods, and study sites. It continues to show the significant impacts of rice cultivation training on productivity and newly demonstrates the high sustainability of the productivity impact of the training and the existence of spillover effects from trainees to other farmers by using panel data. We newly assess the important role of mechanization in intensification of rice farming, high returns to large-scale irrigation schemes, and the critical role of rice millers in improving the quality of milled rice. Based on these studies, this book provides clear pathways toward full-fledged Green Revolution in rice farming in sub-Saharan Africa. 410 0$aNatural Resource Management and Policy,$x2511-8560 ;$v56 606 $aAgriculture?Economic aspects 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aAfrica?Economic conditions 606 $aAgricultural Economics 606 $aDevelopment Studies 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aAfrican Economics 615 0$aAgriculture?Economic aspects. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aAfrica?Economic conditions. 615 14$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aAfrican Economics. 676 $a338.1 702 $aOtsuka$b Keijiro$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMano$b Yukichi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTakahashi$b Kazushi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910676686303321 996 $aRice Green Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa$93062101 997 $aUNINA
