Africa RISING-NAFAKA vegetable baseline survey report (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This report presents the findings from a baseline survey conducted in nine villages as part of the Africa RISING-NAFAKA project, focusing on vegetable production in Tanzania. The survey collected qualitative and quantitative data on gender roles in vegetable production and market participation, revealing critical insights into women's involvement in agriculture, income distribution, and decision-making dynamics within households. The results highlight significant disparities between male and female farmers, particularly in income allocation from vegetable sales, and suggest that forming producer organizations could enhance market negotiation power for smallholder farmers.
