Green (Quality) Revolution for Africa? Interlinking Input and Output Markets for Quality
REFNo: SS4692ES
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether linking smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa to both reliable markets for high-quality inputs and reliable markets for high-quality outputs can trigger a “Green (Quality) Revolution” that sustainably improves productivity and household incomes.
We will implement a Mixed Clustered-Individual Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). At the village level, we will compare:
Group A: Villages where households are offered the opportunity to sell high-quality maize at a premium.
Group B: Villages where households are not offered this opportunity.
Within each village, we will introduce household-level randomization:
Group i: Households offered the option to purchase quality-controlled inputs at market prices.
Group ii: Households not offered this option.
This design yields four distinct experimental groups, allowing us to test: (a) whether access to a reliable output market for produce increases productivity and farm income; (b) whether access to input markets offering high-quality inputs increases smallholders’ willingness to adopt modern agricultural technologies; and most importantly, (c) whether simultaneous access to both reliable input and output markets can trigger a “Green (Quality) Revolution” that raises productivity and incomes.
