- Raising Crop Productivity in Africa through Intensification (2017, background): “The wide-spread dissemination of NERICA in Uganda significantly decreased the poverty level [173] mainly due to increased production and income to farmers [174].”
- The impact of cooperatives on agricultural technology adoption: Empirical evidence from Ethiopia (2013, background): “Empirical studies using micro-level data indicate that agricultural intensification through dissemination and adoption of better agricultural technologies can reduce poverty and food insecurity in SSA (Shiferaw et al., 2008; Kijima et al., 2008).”
- Parasitic weed incidence and related economic losses in rice in Africa (2016, background): “Such expansion results from new exploitations, mainly in the rain-fed lowlands, i.e. the inland valleys (Rodenburg et al., 2014), and conversions of fallow, maize and sorghum fields into (rain-fed upland) rice fields (Kijima et al., 2008).”
- An Inquiry into Constraints on a Green Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Case of NERICA Rice in Uganda (2011, methodology): “Thus, we intentionally selected 10 NERICA-growing areas covering the Central and Western regions (Kijima et al., 2006; Kijima et al., 2008).”
- Poverty Reduction Effects of Agricultural Technology Adoption: A Micro-evidence from Rural Tanzania (2012, background): “Kijima et al. (2008) also showed that NERICA rice adoption reduces poverty without deterioration in income distribution in Uganda.”
- Adoption of improved wheat varieties and impacts on household food security in Ethiopia (2014, background): “Kijima et al. (2008) found that the introduction of a new rice variety for Africa decreased poverty significantly without worsening income distribution.”
