• Overcoming Market Constraints on Pro‐Poor Agricultural Growth in Sub‐Saharan Africa (2006, unknown): “This requires that farmers access both relevant information and affordable inputs (Kelly et al., 2003), and hence co-ordination between input delivery and extension services is required.”
• Smallholders, institutional services, and commercial transformation in Ethiopia. (2009, background): “Access to services Access to the supply of inputs and services is an essential factor for intensification of smallholder agriculture (Crawford et al., 2003; Jayne et al., 2004; Kelly et al., 2003; Kochar, 1997).”
• Improving market access and agricultural productivity growth in Africa: what role for producer organizations and collective action institutions? (2011, background): “& Enabling legal and policy framework:—new policies and institutional reforms are needed to facilitate producer organizations’ transformation to economically viable enterprises with clear business plans (Kelly et al. 2003; Shiferaw et al. 2009).”
• Trends in pesticide use and drivers for safer pest management in four African countries (2008, background): “Unlike the situation for synthetic fertiliser in recent years (Cromwell et al., 2001; Crawford et al., 2003; Kelly et al., 2003), most smallholders had tended to increase their use of pesticides.”
• Rural Institutions and Producer Organizations in Imperfect Markets: Experiences from Producer Marketing Groups in Semi-Arid Eastern Kenya.Socioeconomics and Policy Working Paper Series no. 23 (2006, background): “However, for these organizations to be beneficial to farmers, governments need to provide complimentary public goods that would empower small producers to participate in markets (Kelly et al. 2003).”
• Agricultural Growth and Investment Options for Poverty Reduction in Rwanda (2010, unknown): “This finding is consistent with previous reports indicating that public-sector efforts at improving input supply can crowd out the private sector and reduces overall fertilizer use in some areas (Xu et al. 2009; Kelly et al. 2003).”
• Market inefficiencies and the adoption of agricultural technologies in developing countries 1 (2013, background): “For example, in Malawi, distributing fertilizer vouchers to those who had participated in a public labor program appears to have screened for relatively poor households (Kelly et al. 2003).”
• Rural market imperfections and the role of institutions in collective action to improve markets for the poor (2008, background): “The prominence of lack of credit as a major constraint is consistent with the pervasive financial market imperfections in rural areas (e.g., Poulton et al., 1998; Kelly et al., 2003) and the wide recognition that this service can play an important role in marketing and enterprise development (Kirkpa”
