This paper examines demand for and access to private鈥恠ector extension services by contracted cotton producers

Abstract

This paper examines demand for and access to private鈥恠ector extension services by contracted cotton producers in northern Tanzania. Data from a non鈥恟andom survey of 520 smallholders show that only 21.9% received any extension and only 4.6% received extension from the cotton ginnery.

This work is part of 鈥楪ender equity in contract farming in Eastern Africa鈥� project supported by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the UK Department for International Development.
