| dc.description.abstract | Women in developing countries are often omitted from key parts of the agricultural value
chains. We used household survey data in bi-probit and ordinary least squares regression models to
estimate the determinants of women’s participation in cassava cultivation and marketing in Tanzania.
Land size and region, among other factors, were significant determinants of household decisions to
grow cassava. Policies for improving women’s land rights and infrastructure would help to promote
their participation in cassava production, processing and marketing. Improved methods of delivering
extension information would also improve women’s participation in the cassava value chain markets. |
