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

“…However, contrary to a subsistence/commercial farm dichotomy, most households sell on a broad continuum ranging from 1 – 100% with an average of 33% of their total crop production marketed.  Crop value per hectare increases with greater marketed sales, indicating that farmers switch from lower value food crops (e.g. beans, cassava, maize) to cash crops such as fruits and vegetables where they market higher percentages.  Crop value per hectare is not correlated with land size, revealing that crop choices drive value and not increasing land-related economies of scale. …”
