Abstract: To understand how prices set by the Gambian Producer M_arketing Board effect production decisions, optimum cropping decisions are simulated given different resource endowments, weather, and risk preferences. Accounting for risk indicates response to pricing policy is minimal. Improving yield stability and labor productivity have a greater effect on farm income.
