Abstract
This Agricultural Economics journal article is based on the study that documents the impacts of improved maize varities on household well-being and on overall rural poverty using primary data. In Ethiopia, the last four decades have seen more than 40 improved varieties of maize - including hybrids and OPVs – developed and released by the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR) in collaboration with the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT). An Impact Brief (#45) based on the report/study submitted to SPIA is also available. The full report will be published shortly on this site along with the SPIA foreword.
