Production Gaps Among Farmers With Disabilities Are Associated With Limited Technology
Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT In sub‐Saharan Africa, agriculture is vital; however, the systematic exclusion of persons with disabilities from farming hinders sustainable development and social equity. Although several studies have analyzed productivity differentials across various dimensions of social exclusion, empirical evidence on technology access, farming efficiency,
