"A Gendered Analysis of the Effect of Peanut Value Addition on \r\nHousehold Income in Rongo and Ndhiwa Districts of Kenya"^^ . "Agriculture constitutes a significant amount of the Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). \r\nHowever, a major characteristic of Kenyan agriculture is the predominance of primary \r\nproduction with a high concentration of women in the sector. Peanut production for instance \r\nis widespread in western Kenya under rural crop production system; serving as a cover, \r\nsubsistence and commercial crop. As a commercial crop, peanut has the potential of \r\ngenerating income for rural households and thus help in reducing poverty and improving \r\nlivelihoods. Moreover, higher incomes can be obtained through value addition activities. \r\nDespite the known benefits from value addition, farmers produce and market peanuts with \r\nlittle or no processing. Using survey data from 310 randomly selected peanut producers from \r\ntwo divisions; Ndhiwa and Rongo; a Propensity Score Method (PSM) was used to determine \r\nthe gendered effect of peanut value addition on household income. From the results, farmers \r\nwere found to undertake only one form of value addition, shelling. Although they appreciated \r\nthe higher profitability associated with other forms of value addition like processing, \r\ninadequate capital to purchase processing equipment was a major constraint. The PSM results \r\nsuggest that value addition raises household per capita income by Kshs.88 per day. Male \r\nheaded households recorded higher levels of income compared to female headed households. \r\nThis indicates that potential exists in peanut value addition as a possibility to raise farmers’ \r\nhousehold incomes. However, a diversity of value adding options should be promoted for \r\nadoption by farmers to sustainably improve peanut farmers’ livelihoods."^^ . "2013" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
