Africa's changing farm size distribution patterns: the rise of medium-scale farms (2016, background): “…as somewhat naïve to expect agricultural growth strategies in smallholder areas to rely exclusively on intensification pathways; historically and even in recent years, most of the region’s agricultural growth has taken place via area expansion (Fuglie and Rada, 2013; Traub et al., forthcoming).”
Africa’s Unfolding Economic Transformation (2018, background): “A fourth and ominous distinction with Asia is that Sub-Saharan Africa’s agricultural growth still relies mainly on expansion of area under cultivation, not yield growth (Fuglie & Rada, 2013).”
Understanding the agricultural input landscape in Sub-Saharan Africa : recent plot, household, and community-level evidence (2014, unknown): “In SSA specifically, Fuglie and Rada (2013) report that average yields on irrigated fields are 90 percent higher than on nearby rainfed fields.”
Assessment of rice self-sufficiency in 2025 in eight African countries (2015, background): “…requires on-the-ground research into socioeconomic and biophysical constraints and solutions (e.g. Haefele et al., 2013; Saito et al., 2012, 2013; Kumashiro et al., 2013; Tanaka et al., 2013; Nhamo et al., 2014) and effective policies (e.g. see Anderson and Masters, 2009; Fuglie and Rada, 2013).”
Accounting for growth in global agriculture (2015, methodology): “To derive more plausible estimates, Fuglie and Rada (2013) used FAO data (2006 version) for 1961-1966 and then extrapolated them to the present assuming a 2% annual growth rate.”
