- Gender Differences in Access to Extension Services and Agricultural Productivity (2013, background): “While various studies have highlighted major institutional challenges remaining despite the extension reforms (EEA/EEPRI 2006; World Bank 2006; Byerlee et al. 2007; Davis et al. 2010; Spielman et al. 2010), the gender implications of these investments and challenges in extension system have not been”
- Maize Response to Fertilizer Dosing at Three Sites in the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia (2014, background): “Farmers do not generally follow the national fertilizer recommendation rates (for instance, the application of 100 DAP + 100 urea kg ha at planting and jointing, respectively, for maize), due to high fertilizer cost, fertilizer supply shortages and insufficient training in fertilizer use [2,4,22].”
- The impact of agricultural cooperatives membership on the wellbeing of smallholder farmers: empirical evidence from eastern Ethiopia (2017, background): “Several empirical studies show that agricultural cooperatives improve farm productivity through their influence on the adoption of productivity-enhancing technologies (Spielman et al. 2010; Francesconi and Heerink 2011; Abebaw and Haile 2013) and by improving farm productivity (Abate et al.”
- The impact of cooperatives on agricultural technology adoption: Empirical evidence from Ethiopia (2013, background): “Following Wollini and Zeller (2007) and Fischer and Qaim (2012), a household’s decision to be a member of a cooperative can be analyzed in a random utility framework.”
- The Economics of Sustainable Land Management Practices in the Ethiopian Highlands (2010, unknown): “Although there are a few private-sector suppliers, the fertiliser market (imports and distribution) in all regions is mainly controlled by regional holding companies with strong ties to regional governments [NFIA (National Fertilizer Industry Agency), 2001; Spielman et al., 2010, forthcoming].”
- Maize Revolutions in Sub-Saharan Africa (2011, background): “Despite these efforts, adoption of maize technologies in Ethiopia is still low and a viable private sector input distribution system has yet to emerge (Spielman et al., 2010).”
- ‘Land grab’ as development strategy? The political economy of agricultural investment in Ethiopia (2012, background): “…divided as to whether fundamental structural barriers stand in the way of smallholder-based agriculture-led industrialisation (Dercon et al. 2009, Rahmato 2009) or whether the problems can be attributed to poor implementation (Githinji and Mersha 2007, Alemu et al. 2008, Spielman et al. 2010).”
- Long-term addition of compost and NP fertilizer increases crop yield and improves soil quality in experiments on smallholder farms (2014, background): “Limited credit availability for farmers also prevents investment in fertilizers (IFPRI, 2010; Spielman et al., 2010) and many farmers have reduced the use of fertilizers or even stopped applying it completely (Spielman et al.”
- The Political Economy of Agricultural Extension Policy in Ethiopia: Economic Growth and Political Control (2014, unknown): “During this period, the annual public investment in the extension programme amounted to over US$50 million or almost 2% of agricultural GDP and by 2007-8 the number of farmers reached is thought to have been around 9 million (Spielman et al., 2010).”
