Sampling
Study Population
Farmer households in the vicinity of Agribusiness centers.
Sampling Procedure
The sample was drawn in two stages: first we selected Farmer-Based Organizations (FBOs) to be part of the sample and then we selected a sample of farmers associated to such FBOs. We included up to 10 randomly selected FBOs that are co-owners of the 8 ABCs. Sometimes fewer than 10 FBOs are associated with an ABC, in those case we selected them all. We randomly selected the same number of the non-co-owner FBOs that are located within the 20-miles radius (ITT), as well as FBOs located in the contiguous 10 miles. In the case that there were fewer FBOs we selected them all. In turn, 10 farmers were randomly selected from each FBO's members list. In total we have 2,007 farmer households in our sample.
Weighting
No weights are implemented in this analysis because its objective is not to replicate parameters for a certain population but to evaluate the impact of the intervention.
