      abstract = {This book investigates if and how agricultural market  structures and farm constraints affect the development of  dynamic food and cash crop sectors and whether these  sectors can contribute to economic transformation and  poverty reduction in Africa. The authors map the current  cash and food crops supply chains in six African countries,  characterizing their markets structures and domestic  competition policies. At the farm level, the book studies  the constraints faced by small holders to increase  productivity and break out of a vicious cycle in which low  productivity exacerbates vulnerability to poverty. In a  series of micro case studies, the project explores how  cooperatives and institutions may help overcome these  constraints. This book will appeal to scholars and policy  makers seeking instruments to promote increased agriculture  productivity, resolve food security issues, and promote  agribusiness by diversifying exports and increasing trade  and competitiveness.},
