Factors influencing the intensity of market participation by smallholder farmers: A case study of rural and peri-urban areas of Kenya (2009, background): “Horticulture (especially vegetables) is an important source of income for the smallholders, who account for over 70% of its total production (McCulloch & Ota, 2002).”
Are Horticultural Exports a Replicable Success Story? Evidence from Kenya and Côte d'Ivoire (2004, background): “The average value of horticultural sales in the survey carried out by McCulloch and Ota (2003) was 170 thousand shillings or over US$ 2000, but the average farmsize was 2.”
Contract-farming in Staple Food Chains: The Case of Rice in Benin (2017, background): “…for milk, broiler and vegetable production in India; Maertens and Swinnen (2009) and Dedehouanou et al. (2013) for vegetable production in Senegal; McCulloch and Ota (2002) for horticulture production in fruit and vegetable production in China; Ramaswami et al. (2009) for poultry production in…”
