| dc.description.abstract | This paper looks into the economic analysis of coffee certification scheme in Ethiopia. The study examines and compares per hectare productivity difference between farmers growing organic/ fair trade certified coffee and conventional coffee. Household survey data, conducted in four kebeles at Bullie Horra district targeting Killenso Mokkonisa coffee farmers' cooperative, are reported and analyzed using instrumental variables (two-stage least squares) regression and standard linear difference-in-difference econometric model. In the analysis we find that, controlling for a range of factors, there likely are positive productivity effects per hectare for the treatment group but not for the control group owing to the scheme of coffee certification. This study will have policy implications on how best to design programs to link coffee farmers with the international markets | en_US |
