Some characteristics of agricultural production on coffee smallholdings in the main coffee producing districts of Kenya
1986
Whitaker, M.J.
Explores the effects of dividing the smallholder coffee sector into zones of homogenous farming systems and circumstances. It was seen that a number of differences in coffee yields occur due to the diverse circumstances and practices such as the size of holdings, cropping patterns, timing of activities as well as fertilizer and fungicide usage amongst small scale farmers. This supported the validity of subdividing the main coffee areas into eight homogenous agroecological zones for better management and productivity of coffee.
