Last decade, the contribution of East Africa has increased tremendously following several comparative advantages. However, despite substantial recent public and private investments, Uganda’s Hass production and export lags behind neighboring countries. This is mainly due to the sector’s limited organization, resulting in a fragmented market with varying socio-economic,
Assessing the Sustainable Economic Benefits of Clonal Tissue Culture in Fruit-Tree Industries: A Scenario-Based Avocado Case Study in Australia
There is an increasing global demand for fruit/nut tree foods. Traditionally, these trees are propagated via grafting onto rootstocks grown from seeds or using the double-grafting technique, but this is laborious, expensive, and slow to provide seedlings to the industry. Although clonal tissue culturing can improve the supply and quality of seedling rootstock year-round, little is known if this propagation technique is economically viable at the commercial scale. This study aims to fill this gap

Gendered Land Use Decision-Making and Income Control in Avocado Farming: A Case Study of the Southern Highlands of Tanzania
The growing demand for avocados in Tanzania has led to land reallocation and changes in agricultural practices, particularly in the Southern Highlands, where land is being increasingly dedicated to avocado farming. This study addresses the gap in the existing literature by investigating intra-household decision-making regarding land sales and allocations for avocado farming, as well as income management, with a focus on gender dynamics and their implications for gender equality. The study used an
