Trade, Standards, and Poverty: Evidence from Senegal (2009, background): “…observations of standards-induced consolidations and vertical coordination – including a shift towards large-scale estate farming – have been noticed in the FFV export sector of other African countries; e.g. in Kenya, Zimbabwe and Cote d’Ivoire (Dolan and Humphrey, 2000; Minot and Ngigi, 2004).”
Smallholder market participation: Concepts and evidence from eastern and southern Africa (2008, background): “Moser et al. (2006) report that directly measurable transport costs to the nearest major city average 12–18% of rice prices in rural Madagascar and that the costs of interregional commerce within that country are sufficiently great that more than 80% of the nation’s nearly 1400 communes are economic”
Globalization and Poverty in Senegal: A Worst Case Scenario? (2011, background): “have come to more moderate conclusions on the extent of smallholder exclusion (Jaffee, 2003 ; Kherralah, 2000; Minot and Ngigi, 2004; Swinnen, 2007).”
Factors influencing the intensity of market participation by smallholder farmers: A case study of rural and peri-urban areas of Kenya (2009, background): “It has higher returns than most other cash crops and is suitable for production on the currently declining farm sizes in varying agro-ecological zones (Minot & Ngigi, 2003).”
Gender and Modern Supply Chains in Developing Countries (2012, background): “Other reports have argued that MSC exacerbate existing inequalities because the poorest farmers may be excluded or exploited by large, often multinational, companies dominating the chains (Key and Runsten, 1999; Farina and Reardon, 2000; Minot and Ngigi, 2004).”
Impact of Contract Farming on Income: Linking Small Farmers, Packers, and Supermarkets in China (2009, background): “Minot and Ngigi (2004) describe the evolution of several contract-farming schemes in Kenya, including one (Del Monte pineapple) that gave up on contract production and others than have shifted from large-scale to small-scale production.”
