Fertilizer Policies, Price, and Application in East Africa YAMANO, Takashi ARAI, Ayumi Fertilizer Price Fertilizer Policy Kenya Uganda Ethiopia In this chapter, we investigate the determinants of inorganic fertilizer use on major cereal crops in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Uganda. By using panel data in the three countries, we estimate the determinants of the fertilizer price and application at the household level and evaluate the fertilizer policies in each country. The determinants of the DAP price and application in Kenya can be mostly explained by market forces and agro-ecological factors, suggesting that market-based policies would be effective. In Ethiopia, on the other hand, the estimation results indicate that policy related factors determine the fertilizer price and application. Although the subsidy program in Ethiopia may contribute to poverty alleviation, technical returns from such programs could be low. Uganda should learn from the experience from these two neighboring countries. 経済学 / Economics GRIPS Policy Research Center 2010-12-01 eng technical report AM https://doi.org/10.24545/00001045 https://grips.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/1045 10.24545/00001045 https://ideas.repec.org/p/ngi/dpaper/10-24.html https://ideas.repec.org/p/ngi/dpaper/10-24.html GRIPS Discussion Papers DP10-24 https://grips.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/1045/files/DP10-24.pdf application/pdf 260.4 kB
