Organic Agriculture, Food Security, and the Environment (2018, background): “However, oftentimes organic smallholders do not sell all of their harvest in certified markets ( Jena et al. 2012, 2017; Kleemann et al. 2014).”
Food standards, certification, and poverty among coffee farmers in Uganda (2015, methodology): “10 These findings are in line with Jena et al. (2012) who analyzed the impact of Fairtrade and Organic certification on coffee farmers in Ethiopia. In Nicaragua, Valkila (2009) and Valkila & Nygren (2010) also looked at Fairtrade and Organic, without finding significant benefits.”
Sustainability Standards, Gender, and Nutrition among Smallholder Farmers in Uganda (2016, background): “Several recent studies from countries in Africa show more significant farmer income gains (Chiputwa et al., 2015; Jena et al., 2012; Kleemann et al., 2014).”
The ambivalent impact of coffee certification on farmers' welfare: A matched panel approach for cooperatives in Central Kenya (2016, background): “Several empirical studies conclude that net income effects of certification are rather modest, partly due to higher production costs and otherwise occasioned by low market prices (Jena et al., 2012; Barham, Callenes, Gitter, Lewis, & Weber, 2011).”
Reviewing the impacts of coffee certification programmes on smallholder livelihoods (2017, background): “In some cases, revenue increases were identified to be related to improved yields rather than price premiums (Barham & Weber 2012; Jena et al. 2012) and elsewhere due to lower input costs (Valkila 2009).”
