Abstract:
The agriculture sector in developing countries, particularly in Africa, is commonly characterized as subsistence farming. This involves fragmented land ownership, limited use of inputs, low levels of skills among smallholder farmers, reliance on rudimentary technologies, resistance to adopting new farming methods, and challenges in accessing finance and markets, level of production and postharvest management of the production. These interconnected factors influence the behavior of smallholder farmers along the entire value chain.
