EAAE 2021 presentation: Adopting Modern Agricultural Technologies: Evidence from Kenya - Pius Nnahiwe, Jiří Hejkrlík, Miroslava Bavorova

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Despite the inherent potential and merits of adopting modern agricultural technology, the present day farmer in Sub Saharan Africa is yet to catch up with the rest of the world in harnessing this potential. Thus, this study examines factors affecting modern agricultural technology adoption in the coastal regions of Kenya. The logit regression and multiple linear regression models were used to analyze a sample of 372 smallholder cashew farmers in the coastal regions of Kenya in 2018. The results show that access to extension services and group membership both have significant effects on adoption of modern agricultural technologies namely fertilizer usage and appropriate planting density. We proffered a relevant policy implication based on the findings to further strengthen existing farmer groups and encourage formation of new groups with an aim of introducing modern technologies to boost the agricultural sector performance.
