Item Economic Impact of DroughtTego Hybrid Maize in Kenya(Journal of Development and Agricultural Economics, 2021-07-31) Kyalo, D.W.; Macharia, I.; Marechera, G.; Muinga, G.; Mugo, S.; Rotich, R.; Oniango, R.; Karanja, J.; African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF) ; Kenyatta University ; Rural Outreach Program (ROP) ; Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO)This paper utilizes the Economic Surplus Model (ESM) to provide an ex-post evaluation of the economic impact of drought tolerant hybrid maize technology in Kenya. Results indicate that the adoption of DroughtTEGO ® varieties will generate economic benefit to producers with a net present value of US$ 2.1 billion over a 20-year period. These benefits are sustainable when adoption levels remain above 32% and yield advantage at least 21% over the commercial hybrids. These results present a compelling reason for investing in development, deployment and upscaling of the technology to mitigate the effects of drought among maize producers in Africa.Item Stakeholders Meeting IRMA Project Held At Panafric Hotel March 3 2000 Document 2(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, 2000) Kenya Agricultural Research Institute; Mugo, S.; Poland, D.; Hoisington, D.The Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARl) was established in 1979 with the express mission of increasing sustainable agricultural production by generating appropriate technologies through research, and disseminating these to the farming community. Inherent to this mission is the protection, conservation, and improvement of the basic resources, both natural and human. Such resources are critical for Kenya's agricultural development and expansion of the nation's scientific and technological capacity. KARl has an extensive history of productive collaborators with national and international institutes and universities, as well as with the private sector.
