Transforming Tenancy Arrangements for Resilience+
in Ethiopia
Sharecropping offers advantages to farmers: they need not make upfront payment for land rental at the beginning of the season (when their liquidity tends to be low) and they share the risk of crop failure with the landlord. However, sharecropping presents farmers with reduced incentive to invest in their crops, reducing agricultural productivity. This RIF project offers financial tools to help farmers transition to and thrive in fixed rent arrangements—boosting their income and productivity while managing their risk.
