Impacts of agricultural value chain development in a mountainous region: evidence from Nepal

This analysis investigates the potential mechanism and the practical significance of the impacts of agricultural value chain development in a geographically challenging rural area of a developing country. Use data from a carefully designed primary survey administered in the hill and mountainous region in Western Nepal. Using the inverse probability weighted regression adjustment method, show that linking small-scale producers with regional and local traders can help increase agricultural income.
