    Tajikistan

    Agriculture sector growth has made a
    powerful contribution to post-war economic recovery in
    Tajikistan, accounting for approximately one third of
    overall economic growth from 1998 to 2004. Sector output
    increased by 65 percent in real terms during this period,
    and has now returned to the level extant at independence in
    1990. Total Factor Productivity (TFP) has also increased, by

    Women make essential contributions to agriculture in developing countries, where they constitute approximately 43 percent of the agricultural labor force. However, female farmers typically have lower output per unit of land and are much less likely to be active in commercial farming than their male counterparts. These gender differences in land productivity and participation between male and female farmers are due to gender differences in access to inputs, resources, and services. In this paper, the authors review the evidence on productivity differences and access to resources.

    Nigeria presents a unique case study on differences in agricultural productivity between men and women. This study, which captures a comprehensive picture of agriculture across the nation, shows that female farmers produce 16 percent less per hectare than their male counterparts, when plot size, farmer characteristics, and inputs are taken into account. This gender gap is driven by the North East and Central zones located in the Northern region of the country, where female farmers are 28 percent less productive than male farmers.
