Genebanks and market participation: evidence from groundnut farmers in Malawi by Martin Paul Jr. Tabe-Ojong, Melinda Smale, Nelissa Jamora, Vania Azevedo

“…While the welfare implications of adopting improved varieties have been documented in many rural settings, little attention has been placed on genebanks that often supply key traits and genetic diversity to plant breeders by providing seed samples. In this study, we examined the contribution of the genebank housed by the International Crops Research Institute (ICRISAT) to the development of improved groundnut varieties used by farmers in Malawi. …”
