The authors analyze five rounds of
National Sample Survey data covering 1983, 1987/8, 1993/4,
1999/0, and 2004/5 to explore the relationship between rural
diversification and poverty. Poverty in rural India declined
at a modest rate during this period. The authors provide
region-level estimates that illustrate considerable
geographic heterogeneity in this progress. Poverty estimates
correlate well with region-level data on changes in
agricultural wage rates. Agricultural labor remains the
preserve of the uneducated and also to a large extent of the
scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. Although agricultural
labor grew as a share of total economic activity over the
first four rounds, it had fallen back to the levels observed
at the beginning of the survey period by 2004. This
all-India trajectory masks widely varying trends across
states. During this period, the rural non-farm sector grew
modestly, mainly between the last two survey rounds. Regular
non-farm employment remains largely associated with
education levels and social status that are rare among the
poor. However...

The need for land-related investment to
ensure sustainable land management and increase productivity
of land use is widely recognized. However, there is little
rigorous evidence on the effects of property rights for
increasing agricultural productivity and contributing toward
poverty reduction in Africa. Whether and by how much
overlapping property rights reduce investment incentives,
and the scope for policies to counter such disincentives,
are thus important policy issues. Using information on
parcels under ownership and usufruct by the same household
from a nationally representative survey in Uganda, the
authors find significant disincentives associated with
overlapping property rights on short and long-term
investments. The paper combines this result with information
on crop productivity to obtain a rough estimate of the
magnitudes involved. The authors make suggestions on ways to
eliminate such inefficiencies.

Using cross-country and panel regressions, the authors show that financial sector development significantly reduces undernourishment (hunger), largely through gaining farmers and others access to productivity-enhancing equipment, translating into beneficial income and general effects. They show specifically that a deeper financial sector leads to higher agricultural productivity, including higher cereal yields, through increased fertilizer and tractor use. Higher productivity in turn leads to lower undernourishment. The results are robust to various specifications and econometric tests and imply that a 1 percentage point increase in private credit to GDP reduces undernourishment by 0.22-2.45 percentage points, or about one-quarter the impact of GDP per capita.

Spatial disparity in incomes and
productivity is apparent across and within countries. Most
studies of the determinants of such differences focus on
cross-country comparisons or location choice among firms.
Less studied are the large differences in agricultural
productivity within countries related to concentrations of
rural poverty. For policy, understanding the determinants of
this geography of agricultural productivity is important,
because strategies to reduce poverty often feature
components designed to boost regional agricultural incomes.
Census and endowment data for Ecuador are used to estimate a
model of endogenous technology choice to explain large
regional differences in agricultural output and factor
productivity. A composite-error estimation technique is used
to separate systemic determinants from idiosyncratic
differences. Simulations are employed to explore policy
avenues. The findings suggest a differentiation between the
types of policies that promote growth in agriculture
generally and those that are more likely to assist the rural poor.

This paper employs decomposition methods
to analyze differences in agricultural productivity between
male and female land managers in Ethiopia. It employs data
from the 2011-2012 Ethiopian Rural Socioeconomic Survey. An
overall 23.4 percent gender differential in agricultural
productivity is estimated at the mean in favor of male land
managers, of which 10.1 percentage points are explained by
differences in land manager characteristics, land
attributes, and unequal access to resources (the endowment
effect). The remaining 13.4 percentage points are explained
by unequal returns to productive components, but cannot be
easily tied to specific covariates. These results are mainly
driven by non-married female managers (mainly single and
divorced). Married female managers do not display such
disadvantages. Further analysis along the productivity
distribution reveals that gender differentials are more
pronounced at mid-levels of productivity and that the share
of the gender gap explained by the endowment effect declines
as productivity increases. Detailed decomposition of
estimates at selected points of the agricultural
productivity distribution provides valuable information for
policy intervention purposes.

This policy note reviewed the status of
farm machinery in the Kyrgyz Republic. Agricultural
productivity, particularly in terms of grain yields, is low
because of underinvestment. This note finds that a
significant deficit in agricultural machinery is hindering
sector productivity. The Kyrgyz Republic has fewer tractors
per hectare than any comparable country, with a deficit
estimated at 40 percent. The deficit of combine harvesters,
estimated at 45 percent, is even more critical. When the age
of agricultural machinery is taken into account, the
underinvestment becomes even more acute. The reduced
domestic production of wheat exacerbates food security
concerns. Inadequate access to credit and small farm size
are the main factors that constrain farm mechanization. The
policy note presents three sets of short- to medium-term
policy options to: i) promote the demand for farm machinery,
by developing credit lines for agricultural productive
assets, leasing, facilitating access to secondhand
equipment, and testing/demonstrating the efficiency of farm
machinery for small-scale farming; ii) increase the supply
of farm machinery...

Given population and income growth, it
is widely expected that the agricultural sector will have to
expand the use of water for irrigation to meet rising food
demand; at the same time, the competition for water
resources is growing in many regions. As a response, it is
increasingly recommended that efforts should focus on
improving water productivity in agriculture, and significant
public and private investments are being made with this goal
in mind. Yet most public communications are vague on the
meaning of agricultural water productivity, and on what
should be done to improve it. They also tend to emphasize
water as if it were the only input that mattered. This paper
presents findings from a first attempt to survey the
agricultural productivity and efficiency literature with
regard to the explicit inclusion of water aspects in
productivity and efficiency measurements, with the aim of
contributing to the discussion on how to assess and possibly
improve agricultural water productivity. The focus is on
studies applying single-factor productivity measures...

This paper examines the determinants of
agricultural productivity and its link to poverty using
nationally representative data from the Nigeria General
Household Survey Panel, 2010/11. The findings indicate an
elasticity of poverty reduction with respect to agricultural
productivity of between 0.25 to 0.3 percent, implying that a
10 percent increase in agricultural productivity will
decrease the likelihood of being poor by between 2.5 and 3
percent. To increase agricultural productivity, land, labor,
fertilizer, agricultural advice, and diversification within
agriculture are the most important factors. As commonly
found in the literature, the results indicate the
inverse-land size productivity relationship. More
specifically, a 10 percent increase in harvested land size
will decrease productivity by 6.6 percent, all else being
equal. In a simulation exercise where land quality is
assumed to be constant across small and large holdings, the
results show that if farms in the top land quintile had half
the median yield per hectare of farms in the lowest
quintile...

Women comprise 50 percent of the
agricultural labor force in Sub-Saharan Africa, but manage
plots that are reportedly on average 20 to 30 percent less
productive. As a source of income inequality and aggregate
productivity loss, the country-specific magnitude and
drivers of this gender gap are of great interest. Using
national data from the Uganda National Panel Survey for
2009/10 and 2010/11, the gap before controlling for
endowments was estimated to be 17.5 percent. Panel data
methods were combined with an Oaxaca decomposition to
investigate the gender differences in resource endowment and
return to endowment driving this gap. Although men have
greater access to inputs, input use is so low and inverse
returns to plot size so strong in Uganda that smaller
female-managed plots have a net endowment advantage of 12
percent, revealing a larger unexplained gap of 29.5 percent.
Two-fifths of this unexplained gap is attributed to
differential returns to the child dependency ratio and
one-fifth to differential returns to transport access...

This report seeks to identify the role Australian aid can play in promoting agricultural productivity in Africa. Agriculture is central to Africa's development, stability and prosperity. However for many years, it has been neglected by African Governments and the international community alike. As the rest of the world experienced immense agricultural
growth, Africa has lagged behind, stunted by the lack of technological advancements, infrastructure, and inadequate irrigation and fertilizer availability. Negative annual crop growth rates and increasing population have contributed to Africa's embedded poverty and severe food insecurity. Furthermore if predictions are correct, not only will Africa fail to
meet the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, its the incidence of poverty and food scarcity will also increase. The myriad of literature on Africa's development unanimously draws correlations between
increased agricultural productivity and decreased poverty, particularly in rural areas where poverty and deprivation are most severe. Agriculture has the potential to increase employment opportunities for rural and non-rural industries, connect smallholder farmers to market value chains, increase smallholder profitability and sustainability and lower the price of food for those who produce and consume it.
Focusing on enhancing agricultural production for Africa's development presents unique opportunities for Australia's aid program. Even though Australia is a relatively small donor in Africa...

In the past 50 years, Indian agriculture
has undergone a major transformation, from dependence on
food aid to becoming a consistent net food exporter. The
gradual reforms in the agricultural sector (following the
broader macro-reforms of the early 1990s) spurred some
unprecedented innovations and changes in the food sector
driven by private investment. These impressive achievements
must now be viewed in light of the policy and investment
imperatives that lie ahead. Agricultural growth has improved
in recent years (averaging about 3.5 percent since 2004-05),
but at a long-term trend rate of growth of 3 percent,
agriculture has underperformed relative to its potential.
The pockets of post-reform dynamism that have emerged
evidently have not reached a sufficiently large scale to
influence the sector's performance. For the vast
population that still derives a living directly or
indirectly from agriculture, achieving "faster, more
inclusive, and sustainable growth', the objectives at

Constraints on land and water resources, growth in population, and an apparent slowdown in agricultural productivity raise concerns that food prices may rise substantially in the coming decades. A key question is whether policies aimed at increasing agricultural productivity may be effective in reversing the long-run trend and bringing about significant reductions in food prices. This article uses a global general equilibrium model and a set of microeconomic household models for a sample of 26 developing countries to assess potential implications of higher agricultural productivity--such as through the adoption of genetically modified plants--for household incomes, farmer profits, and poverty. Higher agricultural productivity resulting from increased investments in research and development is found capable of significantly lowering poverty by lowering the cost of consumption of the poorest households without significantly hurting farmers' returns. We also found that raising agricultural productivity among the developing countries only is sufficient to achieve most poverty reduction in the global scenario.

Agricultural growth rates in the Latin
America and the Caribbean (LAC) region have been much slower
than the rest of the developing world. In the regions of
East Asia, South Asia and Middle East and North Africa, the
annual growth of agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
in 1980-2004 exceeded 3 percent, while growth in Sub-
Saharan Africa averaged almost 3 percent. This paper
attempts to present an overview of the agricultural sector

role of Information and Communication Technology's

efficiency in this region. The discussion in this paper will
refer to the evidence provided by studies that evaluate the

on the studies that evaluate interventions in the LAC
region, there will also be references to studies in other
developing economies whenever these are pertinent to the LAC

Agriculture has made major contributions
to China's economic growth and poverty reduction, but
the literature has rarely focused on the institutional
factors that might underpin such structural transformation
and productivity. This paper aims to fill that gap. Drawing
on an 8-year panel of 1,200 households in six key provinces,
it explores the impact of government land reallocations and
formal land-use certificates on agricultural productivity
growth, as well as the likelihood of households to exit from
agriculture or send family members to the non-farm sector.
It finds that land tenure insecurity, measured by the
history of past land reallocations, discourages households
from quitting agriculture. The recognition of land rights
through formal certificates encourages the temporary
migration of rural labor. Both factors have a large impact
on productivity (at about 30 percent each), mainly by
encouraging market-based land transfers. A sustained
increase in non-agricultural opportunities will likely
reinforce the importance of secure land tenure...

This paper provides evidence on the
effects of agricultural productivity on wage rates, labor
supply to market oriented activities, and labor allocation
between own farming and wage labor in agriculture. To guide
the empirical work, this paper develops a general
equilibrium model that underscores the role of reallocation
of family labor engaged in the production of non-marketed
services at home (`home production'). The model
predicts positive effects of a favorable agricultural
productivity shock on wages and income, but the effect on
hired labor is ambiguous; it depends on the strength of
reallocation of labor from home to market production by
labor surplus and deficit households. Taking rainfall
variations as a measure of shock to agricultural
productivity, and using subdistrict level panel data from
Bangladesh, this paper finds significant positive effects of
a favorable rainfall shock on agricultural wages, labor
supply to market work, and per capita household expenditure.
The share of hired labor in contrast declines substantially
in response to a favorable productivity shock...

Productivity in Belarus'
agricultural sector has improved considerably, but large
parts of crop and livestock production are not
internationally competitive. The state's regulatory and
fiscal support system for agriculture has been instrumental
in improving the sector's performance. But the massive
distortions to agricultural incentives it creates to prevent
the sector from reaching its full potential. And the high
costs it causes to state budget may be difficult to sustain
in view if shrinking fiscal space. Agricultural sector
efficiency and competitiveness in Belarus can be increased
by re-orienting the sectoral policy framework towards less
distortive measures and reallocating associated budget
expenditures to support sustainable agricultural growth.
Assistance program could be provided to buffer against
structural adjustment shocks. The government will thus

The EU agriculture, in spite of the market integration process, shows important differences in terms of productivity and efficiency. It is thus important to determine whether there is a convergence process in agricultural productivity and what factors would explain the observed disparities. To respond to these two questions, the dynamic of the agricultural labour productivity of 125 EU regions was analysed. The methodology was an estimation of the convergence equation with cross-section data for the period 1985-2004. The results showed that there is a very slow process of absolute convergence in productivity among the EU agricultures. Besides, productivity growth is related to agricultural out-migration and higher levels of physical capital. On the contrary, Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) support to the agricultural sector does not seem to have contributed to the productivity growth.
