Crop commercialization in Rwanda: Current market participation and drivers por Warner, James, Benimana, Gilberthe Uwera, Mugabo, Serge, Ingabire, Chantal

“…However, there is a wide variety of percentage sales by crop and, in general, higher-valued crops are sold by more commercialized farm households. We also find that value of crop production per hectare rises with greater commercialization, suggesting that developing greater market commercialization, particularly with more valuable crops, may increase household incomes and aid in the economic transformation.…”
