Abstract

This paper draws on insights generated from previous and on-going research on agricultural marketing and policy issues in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Michigan State University. Support for this analysis was provided by the Food Security III Cooperative Agreement (CDG-A-00-000021-00) between Michigan State University and the United States Agency for International Development, through the Bureau for Economic Growth, Agriculture and Trade's Office of Agriculture and Food Security (EGAT/AGR) and from the Africa Bureau's Office of Sustainable Development. Support is also gratefully acknowledged from the Rockefeller Foundation. Lastly, the USAID missions in Kenya, Mozambique, and Zambia are acknowledged for their role in financing the collection and analysis of household survey data reported in this study.
