Overcoming Market Constraints on Pro‐Poor Agricultural Growth in Sub‐Saharan Africa (2006, unknown): “For example Crawford et al. (2003) (using FAOStat data) report high variability between countries in growth of total fertiliser use and in intensity of fertiliser use from the 1980s to late 1990s, but find only one country (Ethiopia) with a major increase in fertiliser use on food crops (the result…”

Simulating soil fertility and poverty dynamics in Uganda: A bio-economic multi-agent systems approach (2007, background): “High fertilizer prices, as compared to the price of crop output, and insufficient access to credit have been identified as major constraints to fertilizer use in Uganda as well as in other parts of sub-Saharan Africa (Yanggen et al., 1998; Crawford et al., 2003; Jayne et al., 2003; Nkonya et al., 20”
The politics of seed in Africa's green revolution: Alternative narratives and competing pathways (2011, background): “…development (InterAcademy Council 2004), seed research and development (Minot et al. 2007; De Vries and Toenniessen 2001), seed marketing systems (Crawford et al. 2003; Morris 1998), local seed systems (Almekinders et al 1994; de Boef et al 1993); seed policy (Rohrbach et al 2003; Tripp 2001;…”

Trends in pesticide use and drivers for safer pest management in four African countries (2008, background): “Unlike the situation for synthetic fertiliser in recent years (Cromwell et al., 2001; Crawford et al., 2003; Kelly et al., 2003), most smallholders had tended to increase their use of pesticides.”
Seed, fertilizer, and agricultural extension in Ethiopia (2012, background): “Fertilizer markets Chemical fertilizer, a more obvious private good than seed, also possesses several features that complicate early stages of market development (Morris et al. 2007; Crawford et al. 2003).”

Participatory action research (PAR) as an entry point for supporting climate change adaptation by smallholder farmers in Africa (2013, background): “Among the major factors undermining fertilizer use in SSA are the risks associated with rainfall variability, high costs and poor access to fertilizer, and poor producer prices for major crops (Crawford et al., 2003; Morris et al., 2007).”
Working Paper No. 13. Seeds and Subsidies: The Political Economy of Input Programmes in Malawi (2011, background): “Consequently, major donors are promoting the establishment of an extensive agro-dealer network as a viable alternative to the state-run system of input supply to farmers which is condemned as inefficient and highly susceptible to rent-seeking activities (van de Walle 2001; Crawford et al. 2003).”
