• The determinants and economic impacts of membership in coffee farmer cooperatives: recent evidence from rural Ethiopia (2017, result): “…et al. (2014) identified improved technical efficiency of members of agricultural cooperatives because of better access to productive inputs and services as compared to non-members, Abebaw and Haile (2013) also showed improved adoption of mineral fertilizers by cooperative members in Ethiopia.”
• Impacts of extension access and cooperative membership on technology adoption and household welfare (2017, background): “While it is increasingly clear that informal cooperatives can affect adoption decisions and welfare levels, it is likely to be heavily contingent on the specific technology, the type of resources required for getting access to it, and the socio-economic characteristics of members (Ito et al., 2012; ”
• Cooperative membership and dairy performance among smallholders in Ethiopia (2016, background): “In addition, similar to what has been reported by Fischer and Qaim (2012) and Abebaw and Haile (2013), our results reveal that older and more educated farmers are more likely to join marketing cooperatives.”
• Cooperative membership and farmers’ choice of marketing channels – Evidence from apple farmers in Shaanxi and Shandong Provinces, China (2018, background): “The other issue is the impact of cooperatives on agricultural production, the adoption of agricultural technology, and farmers’ welfare (Abebaw and Haile, 2013; Chagwiza et al., 2016).”
• Analysis of Adoption and Impacts of Improved Maize Varieties in Eastern Zambia (2015, positive): “Similarly, it was also found that cooperative membership had a strong positive impact on income 11 and on the adoption of fertilizer and improved seed in Kenya and Ethiopia, respectively (Abebaw & Haile, 2013; Alene et al ., 2008; Fischer & Qaim, 2012).”
• The impact of agricultural cooperatives membership on the wellbeing of smallholder farmers: empirical evidence from eastern Ethiopia (2017, methodology): “Traditional forms of associations such as iqub, a rotating savings and credit association; work groups such as wonfel and debo; and idir, which raise funds that will be used during emergencies, have a long history in Ethiopia (Abebaw and Haile 2013).”
• Does cooperative membership increase and accelerate agricultural technology adoption? Empirical evidence from Zambia (2020, background): “Women in Africa usually have limited opportunities to participate in collective action such as cooperatives, hence male-headed households are more likely to be members of cooperatives than their female counterparts (Abebaw and Haile, 2013).”
