Can Public–Private Partnerships Leverage Private Investment in Agricultural Value Chains in Africa? A Preliminary Review (2012, background): “Finally, according to Poulton, Kydd, and Dorward (2006), important coordination issues have to be tackled to overcome “low level equilibrium traps” constraining agricultural production and marketing activity in many parts of rural Africa.”
