Modern input promotion in sub-Saharan Africa: Insights from Asian green revolution por Rashid, Shahidur, Dorosh, Paul A., Malek, Mehrab, Lemma, Solomon

“…Results suggest that Asian policies differ from the current wave of African input subsidy programs in three important ways: (i) instead of focusing mostly on seed and chemical fertilizer, input promotion in Asia involved a package approach involving investments in agricultural R&D, irrigation, promotion of domestic fertilizer, and investments in rural roads; (ii) farmers in three of four countries paid higher prices (net taxed) for fertilizer during the height of the green revolution, suggesting that it was the profitability, not the subsidy, that was central to increasing fertilizer use; and (iii) Asian countries did not target input subsidies, but given leakage and diversion estimates of targeted programs, it is unclear whether targeting would have been more cost‐effective. …”

Research brief: Analysis of policy responses to seed, fertilizer, food and fuel shocks in three African Regional Economic Communities por Lokosang, L.B., Kirui, L.K., Maru, J., Karugia, Joseph T., Bahta, Sirak T., Enahoro, Dolapo K.

“…Countries in the East African Community focused more on expanding targeted social protec-tion programs, Economic Community of West African States countries focused more on support-ing smallholder farmers and digital agriculture, and the Southern African Development Community focused on budgetary stimulus packages. We found a lack of coherence in responding to the crisis within each region to improve the supply and dis-tribution of food, seed, fertilizer, and fuel; thus, necessitating an immediate and aggressive imple-mentation of strategies aligned with continental and regional policy resolutions and recommenda-tions.…”
