• Improving market access and agricultural productivity growth in Africa: what role for producer organizations and collective action institutions? (2011, background): “Smallholder producers face high transaction costs in almost all non labour transactions especially in quality conscious and niche markets such as organic or fair trade (Poulton et al. 2010).”
• Functions and limitations of farmer cooperatives as innovation intermediaries: Findings from China (2014, background): “This also indicates that local level FCs cannot effectively supply multiple dimensional services unless higher level actors in the innovation system are active to respond to local needs (cf. Hellin, 2012; Poulton et al., 2010).”
• Linking Smallholders to Markets: Determinants and Impacts of Farmer Collective Action in Kenya (2012, background): “Small family farms may also have an advantage because of their greater local knowledge (Poulton et al., 2010).”
• Determinants of rural poverty in Nigeria: Evidence from small holder farmers in South-western, Nigeria (2010, background): “Past studies have also identified that most of the poorest households in SSA are found working in agriculture (Ikpi, 1989; Ayoola et al, 2000; Okunmadewa, 2002; Spencer, 2002; Alayande and Alayande, 2004; Poulton et al., 2005; Apata, 2006).”
• Contract farming configuration: Smallholders’ preferences for contract design attributes (2013, unknown): “In developing countries, which are often characterized by high market failures, smallholders are exposed to additional risk and uncertainty (Delgado, 1999; Key and Runsten, 1999; Poole et al., 1998; Poulton et al., 2010).”
• The impact of agricultural cooperatives membership on the wellbeing of smallholder farmers: empirical evidence from eastern Ethiopia (2017, background): “However, there are also cases where collective actions did not improve farmers’ situation (Poulton et al. 2010).”
• The Role of Smallholder Farms in a Changing World (2020, background): “…about efficient farm size is that small farms have an advantage over large farms in terms of labour supervision and local knowledge, but larger farms gain the advantage as an economy shifts towards technologically advanced, capital-intensive, and market-oriented agriculture (Poulton et al. 2010).”
