Impact of adoption of Yam Minisett Technology on performance of small-holder farmers in Nigeria: A propensity score matching analysis
2018
There is global food insecurity which could be attributed to poor performance of the agricultural sector in the developing countries. In a bid to ensure food security, improved technologies have been developed and disseminated to farmers. These include Yam Minisett Technology. In spite of this, there is food insecurity and poverty intensification in the country. This raises the questions whether or not farmers are adopting these technologies and the efficacy of these technologies in enhancing farmer performance and alleviating poverty in the country. This research investigates the potential of YMT to improve the performance of yam farmers. The study also evaluates the use of Propensity Score Matching in assessing the impact of a technology on performance/wellbeing.
